Factoring Project

This document provides instructions for a factoring project that requires students to work in groups to create a product explaining three factoring methods. Students must choose three topics from a list of factoring methods and include examples for each topic. They must also explain how to completely factor any polynomial and include two examples. The product can take various forms such as a poster, essay, or presentation. Points will be awarded based on explanations of topics, examples, and overall presentation.

Explaining Factoring Project

Factoring requires having many tools in your algebra toolbox. Listed below
are different methods for factoring and different types of polynomials to be
factored:
- factor by GCF (including factoring the GCF out before doing other
methods)
- factor by grouping
- factoring basic trinomials
- factoring trinomials where x2 has a coefficient (4x2 + 16x + 15)
- factoring differences of squares
- factoring perfect square trinomials

PROCESS
1. Find partners to make a group of 3-4 people.
2. Choose 3 topics from the list above.
3. Create a product that explains those 3 topics in your own words and
includes at least 2 example problems per topic. Also explain how to
completely factor any factorable polynomial and include 2 examples
of that process.
4. Be sure to include a general definition of what factoring is.

POSSIBLE PRODUCTS: poster, flow chart, essay, song/rap/poem,


PowerPoint presentation, picture book, your own amazing and creative
idea….
* Songs/raps will need to be performed for the class, along with paper
documentation handed in.

RESOURCES: notes, textbook, internet, friends, parents, etc. BUT don’t


just copy examples or explanations from those sources. I want your own
words, not a professional’s words (even if you cite your source).

Points: The project will go into your grade out of 50 points.


- 10 points per topic explained (6 points for the explanation, 4 points
for the examples)
- 10 points for the organization and overall presentation of the product
(this differs based on what you turn in, but will not be based on the
accuracy of the content)
