Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
The first step in factor by grouping is to factor out the greatest common factor.
- •
When using factor by grouping with four terms, the first step is to divide the polynomial into halves and factor out the greatest common factor from each half.
- •
If done correctly, the products will have a common polynomial factor that can be factored out to complete the problem.
