standard_description: Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. For example, see x^(4) – y^(4 )as (x^(2))^(2 )– (y^(2))^(2), thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (x^(2 )– y^(2))(x^(2 )+ y^(2)).
problem_activity: Problem 1
Sondra says
$$3\times223=696$$
. Use what you know about the product of two odd numbers to explain why Sondra is wrong.
Problem 2
Explain two ways you could find the next number in the highlighted diagonal below. You don’t need to actually compute it!
