TEASE Directions: I have completed a video for students to watch before the first day of instruction. It shows a relationship between puzzles and factoring. It is much easier to complete a puzzle if you separate the different pieces first by edge and corner, then by color. It is also much easier if you are able to have someone help you and if you are able to look at the picture you are creating on the box. This short video shows the relationship. Have a short discussion that involves these relationships before beginning the first day of instruction. Puzzles & Factoring

QAR for Section 2 Directions: Complete the questions as you begin to think in depth about polynomials and factoring using the Distributive Property and Grouping. Question Answer 1. List the two methods of factoring discussed in Section 2. 2. Why do you think it is important to know the distributive property when x and y are in an equation? 3. Compare and contrast the Distributive Property and Grouping method for factoring. 4. Create an example of an equation in which you would use grouping and explain how you would solve the equation.

QAR for Section 2 Directions: Complete the questions as you begin to think in depth about polynomials and factoring using the Distributive Property and Grouping. Question Answer 1. List the two methods of factoring discussed in Section 2. Distributive Property Grouping 2. Why do you think it is important to know the distributive property when x and y are in an equation? When two variables are involved, the values may need to be known in order to solve the equation. If you can isolate some of the variables, you can find the values of them. 3. Compare and contrast the Distributive Property and Grouping method for factoring. Distributive property is used to remove common factors from an equation. The grouping method takes like terms and removes the GCF, then the equations can be solved. 4. Create an example of an equation in which you would use grouping and explain how you would solve the equation. 15 3 4 20 15 3 4 20 3 5 4 5 3 4 5

Brainstorming Directions: Students have learned to factor using the Distributive Property and using Grouping. For this brainstorming activity, students will be asked several questions to make them consider how you would solve an equation that involved an equal sign. Students will be split into groups of three or four and will be given the following equations and see what they would do to solve them. Reminder: The students have only covered section one and part of section two. Don t make the questions too advanced for where you are in the chapter. Questions: 1. 2. 3. Students will be given 5-10 minutes to discuss what steps need to be taken to find the answers. At this point, we will discuss in class the correct steps to solving the equations. Each group will be given an opportunity to share their answers and their logic behind them. Answers: 1. 2. 3.

The students will find how each profession uses factoring in their workplace. The careers will include, but won't be limited to, engineering, physics, biology, and landscape designer. Students will need to write a paper that explains what the career is, how factoring is used, and how factoring can be used in the students' everyday lives. A graphic representation should be created to show how factoring is used.
