Students will need to be familiar with basic factoring concepts. Each student will need notebook paper and a pencil. Teacher-prepared index cards with one problem per card. It is helpful to make a double amount of cards and have each card numbered.
Students move to teacher suggested pairs and location in classroom.
Teacher explains these rules. Each partner individually works the problem on the card. B. When finished, pair compares and explains methods before raising hand for new card. Only pair talking and helping is allowed. Activity continues until teacher thinks students have mastered the objectives or one pair has finished all cards.
