All algebra teachers wish their students were better at factoring. Your students will get great practice with this essential skill as they work through these 10 circuits. In each circuit, the problems become progressively more difficult so it is great for differentiated instruction. To advance in the circuit students must search for ONE of their factors. This game element and self-check aspect of the format keeps students engaged. In addition, in this bundle there is a factoring matching activity! 11 resources for this price!

My students love the circuit format! They stay engaged, they talk and discuss, they lean over effortlessly to help each other. The only prep you have to do as a teacher is work the circuit ahead of your students so you understand the unpacking of the idea. The circuit takes care of the rest! Mine do not get up when the bell rings!

There are no answer keys included in my circuits since the answers are imbedded in the circuit. The only think the teacher needs to do ahead of time is work the circuit to see the idea unfold and to determine what kind of examples / notes might be needed before the students dig in.
