Today Carson and I continued with the concept of Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of polynomials. First we practiced finding the GCF by considering the largest number and variable that divides all of the expressions. Carson did a great job with this. Next we practiced separating the factors. Carson saw problems like 32x^5-16x^3 and was successfully able to factor it as 16x^3(2x^2-1). After Carson showed me that he has mastered this content, I showed him some random problems involving exponents. I asked if he was able to simplify them. He ran into some difficulty. This shows me that he could use some time reviewing these concepts. So we will dive into this tomorrow.
