Students will factor polynomials with four terms using the factor by grouping method in this collaborative partner activity. It consists of 12 sections as in each section students are given one and the same problem. Partner A is instructed to group the first two terms together and then to group the last two terms together, while Partner B is instructed to group the first and third terms together and then to group the second and forth terms together. Thus partners see that factoring by grouping problems can be approached at least in two different ways. In the next section students are given the next problem as this time Partner A is instructed to group the first and third terms together and then to group the second and forth terms together and Partner B is instructed to group the first two terms together and then to group the last two terms together.
