Can the students explain why they are finding the sum or difference of the product of the first and last factor? I love the fact that it reinforces the idea of area but I wish it could do so without the "middle step of mystery".sumachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04643253179299544287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-83617443106551052512015-12-27T18:36:12.727-06:002015-12-27T18:36:12.727-06:00Really looking forward to the post on factoring us...Really looking forward to the post on factoring using the box method. I've used the box method to teach multiplication of polynomials, and my students loved it! It eliminates (for the most part) the careless error of forgetting to distribute the outside term to each term inside that often happens when students (and sometimes even I) apply the distributive property. Looking forward to the next blog post!!Adinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012807741461325394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-47299910234957583832015-11-14T18:03:07.098-06:002015-11-14T18:03:07.098-06:00It's on my list to blog about!It's on my list to blog about!Sarah Carter (@mathequalslove)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11839095945000612533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-31289359306594052532015-11-14T18:02:19.715-06:002015-11-14T18:02:19.715-06:00E-mail sent!

After a few, my students got good at recognizing the right answers, but that was a great way for them to check their work. I heard a lot of great discussions about integer and exponent rules whereas from a worksheet, they would have just moved on.
