Factoring Quadratics Stations


Mathematics Learning Objectives:
Students will be able to identify factors of numbers and expressions and the greatest common factor.
Students will be able to factor by grouping for any value of a ≠ 0.
Students will be able to solve quadratic equations.
Students will be able to apply the concept of area with factoring quadratic expressions to find side lengths.
Students will be able to critique the reasoning and problem solving of others when factoring quadratics.
Language Objectives:
1. Language Function: Explain
2. Vocabulary and Symbols: Factor, Factoring
3. Mathematical Precision: Students will be able to explain that a factor is an expression or number that
divides another expression or number evenly. Students will be able to apply multiple procedures of factoring
to find these factors.
4. Discourse: Students explain how they found the factors for a number or expression to their peers.
5. Language Supports: Students discuss the meaning of factoring, identify factors, and define what is a factor
at the beginning the lesson. Then are asked to factor throughout the lesson.
Essential Question:
What is factoring (conceptually)? How do we factor using multiple methods? How do you using factoring and
solving quadratic equations in area models or construction scenarios?
North Carolina Mathematics Standards:

expression, including terms, factors, coefficients, radicands, and exponents.
NC.M2.A-SSE.1b Interpret the structure of expressions. Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms

Notes to the reader:
Students should be familiar with factoring when a=1 and when a>1. Students should also be able to find the
greatest common factor and factor it out. Students saw solving quadratic equations the day before but were still
struggling with factoring. Some will practice factoring out the greatest common factor, others factoring when
a=1 or a>1, and then pushing beyond to solve quadratics and think conceptually about quadratic expressions as
area. Students will work with at least 2 stations. This lesson is a review of factoring and an extension to the next
level when students are comfortable and demonstrate competency.

knowledge based on their current standing. To
determine what students are strong on and what
they need more time with so we can group
appropriately.

how we’re doing and review.
For the first problem, model how to explain your
thinking by asking for student responses and then
probing for further explanation. Ask students
frequently what to do next and why they know
they can do it. Ask for clarification on how to
write it.
For the second problem, you can continue this
process or have a student explain. Find a student
that wants to share their solution, if there is an
error they can still share. Let students correct
them.
For the third problem, have students explain their
solutions. Ask students beforehand if they would
share, try to pick students that do not often
explain their thinking in class or speak often in
class to help them build some confidence. If there
is an error, they can still share. Let students
correct them. If there are multiple solutions, show
them and compare methods. Ask why throughout
to make sure every student knows why they are
doing each step. Make sure you summarize what
they are doing or revoice what they said and add Students may struggle to remember the process
