Factoring Monomials

Objectives:
Students will find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 2 or more monomials, simplify quotients of monomials, factor polynomials that have a GCF, and divide a polynomial by a monomial.

NCTM Standards:
Proofs should be a significant part of high school students' mathematical experience, as well as an accepted method of communication.

California Content Standards:
(10.0) Students add, subtract, multiply, and divide monomials and polynomials.
(11.0) Students apply basic factoring techniques to second-and simple third-degree polynomials. These techniques include finding a common factor for all terms in a polynomial.
