팩토링을 간단하게 만들기: 자기 주도 학습

In this course, we will cover how to write a quadratic in standard form and how to follow a systematic process that follows clear steps by answering these questions:
1) Is the quadratic factorable?
2) If so, is there a greatest common factor?
3) Is it a special type of quadratic that can be factored with a formula/pattern?
4) If it is a "regular" quadratic, what are some methods that can help us factor it?

Throughout the lesson, students will be given numerous problems to practice the steps in a scaffolded way, so that they can easily answer each of the questions posed above. I will guide them through the processes and highlight what to look for and how to know the best approaches for each problem. Then they will be given the opportunity to work in partners to practice each of the skills while I check in on them and help as needed. Finally, to really solidify their understanding of what it takes to factor quadratics, students will practice creating quadratics that meet different factoring conditions.
