Two resources that are related to one another. Factoring a trinomial is sometimes necessary to graph and to find the roots (solution). This bundle includes:Handout that provides a step by step series of instructions to factor a trinomial using the box/window method.A nine page set of guided notes that outline the three forms of a quadratic function (standard, vertex and factored) and how to use the meaning of the coefficient of each form to find: apex, zero's (roots), direction of graph and tran
