Factoring quadratic expressions is a key skill that can prevent students from being efficient in future mathematics.  There are many ways, tricks, and short-cuts that can help a student arrive at an answer, but we will focus on just one method here.  

The method we will use called Guess and Check.  It has been chosen because it most directly ties to what happens when binomials are multiplied together.  This method will reinforce what you’ve previously learned and tie it into a new consequence of that understanding.  

Read through the notes below, taking notes of your own.  Try the problems there, on your own.  Then, watch the videos and try the practice problems in the tab labeled Practice Problems.  If you find this helpful, please share it on social media!
