This math unit progresses from basic to advanced skills in algebraic functions, focusing particularly on polynomials and quadratics. Initially, students learn to find the greatest common factor (GCF) within algebraic expressions, a foundational skill for simplifying and manipulating expressions. The unit progresses to more complex maneuvers such as removing and manipulating different or same variables from bracketed terms. As students progress, the focus shifts to factoring quadratic equations, first without coefficients and then with coefficients, where they apply their skills to split quadratic terms and identify correct factorizations. Later worksheets introduce the relationships between quadratic roots, coefficients, and their arithmetic properties (sum and product), culminating in an ability to solve and factorize quadratic expressions based on specific numerical criteria. This learning path enhances understanding of polynomial behavior and quadratic relationships, preparing students for deeper studies in algebra and related mathematics fields. The structured approach develops from identifying simple common factors to complex factorizations and understanding polynomial roots, reflecting a comprehensive learning curve within the algebraic scope.Skills you will learn include:
