Factoring Polynomials with 2x Squared
After factoring polynomials with only one X2, my girls wanted to try it with 2x2 so I let them have at it. This free math video shows what they did…

Factoring Polynomials
This free math video shows the second time my girls and I played with factoring polynomials. The first time we did it, our “x squared” was not covered with paper on the side so it looked like 10 and that made it confusing. We fixed that and re-recorded what we had done in the first video.
