We began with our opener (pdf).

Today's lesson (pdf) was reviewing GCF and then learning about factoring by grouping.

Your homework for Thursday is:

1. Prepare for the Adding and Subtracting Polynomials Assessment on Thursday. There are a variety of ways to do that including, but not limited to: review the online pre-assessment; review your notebook and/or the openers and lessons posted on the blog; review the video, work some practice problems in your textbook or that you find online. You can, of course, also get help from me, another math teacher, a teacher in the Study Center, a peer tutor in the Study Center, or a parent, sibling or friend. Do whatever works best for you, but make sure you're prepared. The expectation is that you should all be able to do very well on this assessment.
   
2. Watch the Factoring Polynomials by Grouping video.
   
   
   
   
3. Do some more factoring by grouping practice.
