SKU: 44c7636ae5a5 Category:

Have you noticed the collective moan that echoes through your classroom as soon as the phrase “word problems” comes out of your mouth? I know that I have more than I can count. This vertical motion model application is designed to engage your students while challenging them to think outside of the box.

The students will:

– factor using a GCF

– factor trinomials when A ≠ 1

– find roots by factoring

– think critically and use reasoning to solve problems

There are TWO VERSIONS for differentiated learning. The second version has more prompting questions to walk the students through the problem
