D. PAIR MO KO NYAN!

Description: This game will help you to develop your factoring skills by formulating your
problem based on the given expressions. You can integrate other factoring techniques in
creating expressions.

Directions: Form polynomials that are difference of two squares by paring to squared
terms then factor them(HINT: You can create 5 pairs, then factor expressions that may
require the use of the greatest common monomial factors).
