WHOLE GROUP
Factoring Review + Use of the Factoring Flow Chart – 1 Example from each type of factoring plus how to identify them
DIRECT INTRUCTION
IdentiFactor – Studnets will need to identify the types of
factoring used in, then factor and then simplify. Student
mentors and myself will have to ok each student before
moving on to the next step.
COLLABORATIVE STATION
Pass and Solve – Students will work in pairs, each
receiving a different mix of multiplying and dividing rational
expressions problems. The students will identify and
factor each numerator and denominator for the problems
on their sheet. Once they do they can pass the the paper
to their partner who are then to execute the multiplication
or division and the final simplification.
