Description

There are no trinomials in sight in this introduction to factoring quadratics! It is meant to boost confidence and get students comfortable with the thinking process needed to successfully factor quadratics.

Students are asked questions like "What two numbers multiply to get 6 and add to get 7?" By clicking on the green "Check your Answer" box on each slide the class can check to see if they found the two numbers! By introducing quadratic factoring this way, students build their confidence and get used to the thinking needed to factor.

I teach Special Ed, so all of my materials keep Special Ed students in mind. The PowerPoint is meant for students who struggle with Math and need concrete steps.

This was a good introduction to factoring quadratics because finding the two numbers that work is a game. Thanks for the fun.

Although this is a high school resource, I was able to use this with my 6th grade students as part of a warmup for their multiplication challenge. I then used it with my advanced students when we covered factoring. Great resource!

This was a great intro activity for my students. To make it more suitable, I removed the multiplication chart to encourage mine to think a little more!

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.
