Ben continued exercises from his Algebra I, Prentice Hall textbook, surface area. He also practiced several multiplication facts.

I planned for math.

7-7 Factoring Special Cases – We practiced identifying and factoring a trinomial that is a perfect square or a binomial that is a difference of two squares. Then we factored special cases of polynomials within the context of real-world problems.

7-7 Factoring Special Cases – We learned that when a trinomial has the pattern a2 + 2ab + b2, then it can be factored as (a + b)2 or (a - b)2 respectively. If a binomial has a pattern a2 - b2, then it can be factored as (a + b)(a - b).

7-6 Factoring ax2 + bx + c – We learned how to factor a trinomial algebraic expression in the form ax2 + bx + c when “a” is not equal to one by either grouping or substitution. Some required factoring out a GCF before finding the factor pairs.
