Unit 9 is comprised of having the students classify, add, subtract, multiply (including FOIL)and factor polynomial expressions. Factoring expressions is a key concept of Algebra 1 and is a prerequisite to solving higher level equations. Student who master this unit tend to be very successful in Algebra 2.
Each lesson is comprised of a video lesson with downloadable lesson worksheets with and without solutions and a series of graded practice exams which provide step by step solutions to every problem on the exam.
Students will factor quadratic expressions by removing the GCF or by factoring into binomials. Factoring polynomials is a prerequisite to solving quadratic equations in Unit 10.
