TTW use “Factoring
out the GCF of a
Polynomial” foldable to
guide note-taking and
practice problems.
TTW use the “How do I
Factor a polynomial?”
g/o to begin lesson.
TTW will guide
students through
“Factoring 4 Term
Polynomials” booklet.
TTW use “Factoring
Questions” g/o to
guide lesson as well as
“How do I Factor a
Polynomial?” g/o. TTW
also focus on factoring
difference of two
squares.
TTW guide students in
adding notes to
previous g/os from the
week. TTW introduce
factoring a trinomial
with a leading
coefficient using
“Factoring Polynomials
When” g/o.
