efficiently.
Application:
Assessment:
2. Evaluate the students' ability to explain the steps and reasoning behind their
factoring process through an oral presentation or group discussion.
Assignment:
Assign the students to create their own set of factoring problems, including different
types of polynomials and common monomial factors. They should provide step-by-
step solutions and explanations for each problem. The assignment can be submitted
as a written report or presented orally to the class.
