We began with our assessment over Multiplying Polynomials (key, pdf).

We then learned about Special Products and Factors (lesson, pdf).

Just a reminder that I won't be here next week, but Mrs. Blechschmidt will be.

Your homework is:

1. Check the portal for the results of your assessment, fill out your student checklist with your results, and make a plan for retake (if necessary), including making an appointment.
   
   
2. Complete the Factoring ax^2 + bx + c Online Pre-Assessment on the Moodle. 
   
   
3. Don't forget your reflection for parent/teacher conferences which is due to me by midnight on Monday.
   
   
4. Do as many of the Coolmath practice problems as you want (links in Wednesday's lesson pdf). There are practice problems on adding and subtracting polynomials, multiplying polynomials, factoring using GCF, factoring by grouping, and factoring trinomials using x-box. You can add to that list factoring difference of squares.
   
   
5. Watch and complete the Special Products and Factors video, including submitting the self-check problems on the Moodle.
