Description
I used this Thinking Task to introduce students to factoring trinomials in the form x^2+bx+c. Students worked in groups to solve each expression, and at the end must come up with rules based on the patterns they noticed throughout the task.

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.3a
Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines.
