Are you looking for a complete, no-prep lesson plan for factoring difference of two squares and perfect square trinomials? These guided notes are complete with review/prompting questions and example problems for factoring special cases.
What’s included:
– 1 page of difference of squares guided notes
– 1 page of perfect square trinomials guided notes
– 2 pages of practice problems paired with the notes
– Answer keys for the notes and practice problems
The students will:
– factor difference of two squares
– factor perfect square trinomials
– factor out a GCF, then factor the expression
– identify unfactorable polynomial expressions
How I have used guided notes in my Algebra 1 class:
⭐️ Whole class: You can complete the difference of squares notes as a whole class lesson. This gives you the opportunity to have students work on example problems independently and check their work with you.
⭐️ Small groups: The students can work in pairs or small groups to complete the factoring special cases worksheet. They can also work with a partner to complete the guided example problems and check their work as a whole class.
⭐️ Independent: Students can use the practice worksheets as classwork, homework, or quiz review.
