Topic 24: Introduction to Factoring

April 6th - April 14th 

Topic 24 introduces the concept of factoring quadratic equations.  You were introduced to quadratic functions in topic 22 and you learned how to find solutions to these quadratic functions by graphing and using the Quadratic Formula.  In topic 24 we will learn about another method for finding solutions to quadratic functions called factoring.

The videos follow along in your workbook just like I am going through the lesson with you.  Please make sure you watch and listen to the entire thing and you follow the directions I provide in the video.  There will be 2 posts about factoring, and the entire Topic 24 Factoring unit needs to be completed by April 17th so you have plenty of time to review before your EOC.  That means you need to stay on task the entire class and make sure you are completing the notes and worksheets.
