MGSE9-12.A.SSE.2 Use
the structure of an
expression to rewrite it in
different equivalent
forms. 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).
MGSE9-12.A.SSE.3
Choose and produce an
equivalent form of an
expression to reveal and
explain properties of the
quantity represented by
the expression.
MGSE9-12.A.SSE.3a
Factor any quadratic
expression to reveal the
zeros of the function
defined by the
expression.

Activities
TKES 3, 7 & 8
Before I begin to teach
students how to factor
polynomials, which is the
inverse of the distributive
property, I think it’s
important for students to
know how divide
monomial expressions, in
that factoring, or the
inverse of the distributive
property is actually
polynomial division. This
is not spelled out in the
state standards, but
nonetheless a learning
gap that needs to be
filled. After the minilecture with examples
worked out on the board,
students will be given a
one-page worksheet of
monomial division
problems.
Review of bell-ringer
problem.
Recap of mini-lecture
from yesterday with
more examples of
unique problems
pertaining to the
lesson. Students will
be given another
worksheet that I like
to call a “practice
test”, as they with
daily layers of
complexity course
content, they morph
into the actual test.
During the latter part
of the class period, I
will have students
demonstrate their
work on the board the worksheet will be
projected on the
smartboard.
