FACTORING IS THE GREATEST!

Teach me how to factor!

Remember - factoring is the backbone of this unit!

Here is a calendar for what our plans look like before Thanksgiving Break...

Greatest Common Factor

Today in class we took a quiz over the remainder theorem & dividing polynomials. The highest score you can receive on this is a 2. There will be another opportunity next week for you to show further understanding of this topic, if need be.

After the quiz, we worked through the greatest common factor. 

Here is the Powerpoint (without my notes).

Here is the optional assignment.

Here is a video you can watch if you need more support! 

Polynomial Division

Today we worked on Polynomial Division. If you are still feeling frazzled, here is a video that explains the method we used. I'm loving the shirt that the instructor is wearing!

If videos aren't your thing, here is a written out post with some examples. *NOTES TO FOLLOW!*

If after looking at those two resources, and checking back through your notes, you're STILL stuck, PLEASE COME IN FOR HELP. We are available before and after school; sign-up sheet is on the board.

Post-Graphing Test

Hi there!

I see that you're done with your graphing mini-test. Right on!

Here are some videos I'd like you to watch in preparation for our next unit. Watch these, and complete the worksheet I have for you. This is critical knowledge for our next unit. Seriously!

*Disclaimer: If you have another way that you can multiply polynomials, and you are successful, feel free to use it. I will be using the box method for everything in this unit - both multiplying and dividing. It can't hurt you to be able to do this method, too!
