Factoring using GCF WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: Algebra I, IM 1
CCSS: HSA.SSE.B.3
CCSS Description: Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.★ a. Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines. b. Complete the square in a quadratic expression to reveal the maximum or minimum value of the function it defines. c. Use the properties of exponents to transform expressions for exponential functions. For example the expression 1.15t can be rewritten as (1.151/12)12t ≈ 1.01212t to reveal the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate if the annual rate is 15%
Factoring using GCF WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Students will have ample practice factoring into parentheses with this worksheet consisting of 36 varied questions. Learners will need to be confident in simplifying algebra by dividing, division of exponents, and finding the GCF of up to three terms.
In section A, all the expressions contain two terms. The section begins with expressions containing number factors only and progresses to expressions which have number and two variable factors including exponents. All the expressions in section B are made up of three terms. Again, the section progresses from expressions with only number factors to those with number and two variable factors. The last two questions even have fractional factors.
