Description

Do your students struggle with factoring quadratics? In this download is the flowchart I'd use in my Algebra 2 class to help students when A>1. It walks students through the "AC" method of factoring.

Also included is another flowchart that helps students decide which type of factoring they need to do given the problem on front of them.

My students used it daily for their classes. It eased the burden off of me to have to create it in addition to teaching the material.

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).

CCSSHSA-SSE.A.2

Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. For example, see 𝘹⁴ – 𝘺⁴ as (𝘹²)² – (𝘺²)², thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (𝘹² – 𝘺²)(𝘹² + 𝘺²).

CCSSHSA-SSE.B.3

Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.

CCSSHSA-SSE.B.3a

Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines.
