Factoring Project
Factoring requires having many tools in your algebra toolbox. Listed below
are different methods for factoring and different types of polynomials to be
factored:
- factor by GCF (including factoring the GCF out before doing other
methods)
- factor by grouping
- factoring basic trinomials
- factoring trinomials where x2 has a coefficient (4x2 + 16x + 15)
- factoring differences of squares
- factoring perfect square trinomials
PROCESS
1. Find partners to make a group of 3-4 people.
2. Choose 3 topics from the list above.
3. Create a product that explains those 3 topics in your own words and
includes at least 2 example problems per topic. Also explain how to
completely factor any factorable polynomial and include 2 examples
of that process.
4. Be sure to include a general definition of what factoring is.
