Eleven worksheets on Multiplying and Factoring Polynomials . After years of frustration with textbooks which provided too few basic problems and too many "tricky" problems, I finally just made my own. My students need several straight forward practice problems to really get confident about their factoring, and that is what these worksheets provide. If you feel the same way, then give these a try. The worksheets are for the following topics: * Degree and Names of Polynomials (with adding and subtracting groups of terms) * Multiplying a Monomial by a Polynomial * Factoring a Greatest Common Factor out of a Polynomial * Mulitplying Binomials (FOIL) * Multiplying Special Cases * Factoring Simple Trinomials (a=1) (based on "magic x" strategy) * Factoring Trinomials (a ≠ 1) (based on "magic x" strategy) * Factoring Perfect Square Trinomials * Basic Factoring Patterns Side by Side (including Difference of Squares) * Factoring when there is a GCF to factor out first ("Patterns in Hiding") * Factoring 4-Term Polynomials by Grouping This bundle will save you hours of searching for just the right problems and practice. These are perfect for less motivated or disorganized students or just as extra practice for all students. ***Note: I encourage my students to use my 30 x 30 multiplication chart when working on factoring. I have included a few problems with larger numbers on purpose to "force" the students to go to the chart. The chart is available in my store here on TpT for free.***
