About

Over the next five weeks, we will meet semi-weekly—on Mondays and Fridays—to go over everything you need to know about polynomial factorization to achieve a 100% score on the Khan Academy Unit test. We will cover factoring both monomials and higher degree polynomials, including using structure; the greatest common factor; taking common factors; polynomial identities; and geometric series. We will also have additional sessions some Tuesdays and Thursdays to review what we have previously learned in the series.
Sessions are relatively slow-paced and might go overtime.

I'm here to learn, teach, and learn while teaching! I speak Spanish natively, English, and I'm starting to learn Portuguese! I'm currently self-studying AP Statistics, my first AP course.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Attendance is, of course, optional. You are free to only attend the sessions on concepts that you want to go over. However, as with most concepts in mathematics, knowledge will build incrementally.

We will go through eight practice exercises factoring monomials as products of smaller monomials and finding the greatest monomial that is a common factor of other monomials(for example, 2x2x

is the greatest common factor of 4x4x

and 6x26x^2

).
