Factor Quadratics with the Best Method Ever

Created by

This Quadratic Factoring resource for a > 1 will finally give your kids a method that not only works every time, but has NO GIMMICKS to forget. This method uses factoring by grouping and also called the AC method. Students have so much trouble with factoring trinomials, especially those whose leading coefficient is not one. I see it all the way up through Calculus. I have seen crazy methods and videos, which act like a Band-Aid: temporarily helping, but students forget these methods since
