1. CA STANDARDS 11.0: Students find a common factor to all of the terms in a polynomial. Agenda 1.)Lesson On Factoring Polynomials 2.)Assignment Learning Objectives: Students will be able to factor polynomials.

2. Factoring - REVERSEMultiplying It is the REVERSE of Multiplying.  Example 1: It means we pull apart or take out! Factor out the Greatest Common Factor:  What is common with both terms? (G.C.F.) Greatest Common Factor: G.C.F. is the biggest monomial that divides evenly into each term.

3.  Example 2: Factor out the Greatest Common Factor:  What is common with both terms? (G.C.F.)  Try it! Factor out the Greatest Common Factor:  What is common with both terms? (G.C.F.)

4.  Example 3: Factor out the Greatest Common Factor:  What is common with both terms? (G.C.F.) Factor out the Greatest Common Factor:  What is common with both terms? (G.C.F.)  Try it!
