Factoring Special Products of Polynomials -Notes,Worked Out Examples,Practice Problems

These are 4 pages of notes, worked out examples and practice problems on factoring special products of polynomials. The first 2 pages are on factoring perfect square trinomials and the last 2 pages - on factoring a difference of perfect squares. First, it is given a definition of pefect square trinomial/ difference of perfect squares. There are given examples that illustrate the definition. Students are encouraged to give their own examples. Then the steps how to factor a perfect square trinomial/difference of two squares are given followed by three worked out examples. Students have another three very similar problems to the worked out to solve them by their own. There are another 4 problems for students to practice the concept. At the end a mixed practice of 5 mixed problems is provided. Students have enough space to show work on the worksheets.
