This document introduces factor trial and error boxes, a method for factoring polynomials by systematically trying possible factors. Students write the polynomial expression in the first box and then try possible factors in the subsequent boxes, checking if each factor fully divides the expression until all factors are found. This trial and error approach allows students to methodically find all factors of a polynomial.
