We factored trinomials in the form of ax^2 + bx + c where a=1 and where a>1. We spent significant time on this topic, but hit "speed bumps" where Gio's rate of completion was slower than desired. We then took a break and practiced multiplication facts in order to increase processing speed. Gio took a multiplication timed test, which we will continue to do and track his progress. Gio also downloaded some phone apps that he will practice on.
