Students will practice factoring polynomials related to area of figures with this “Math Lib” activity. The questions require students use formulas for the area of triangles, squares, rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, and circles. Students must be able to factor using a greatest common factor, as well as factor difference of squares and trinomials where a ≥ 1. If you feel your students might need a little assistance, consider opening the editable slides version and adding area formulas in where needed.
The answer at each station will give them a piece to a story (who, doing what, with who, where, when, etc.).This is a much more fun approach to multiple choice, and the students adore reading the story to the class. They get very excited to see which of their teachers is the “star” of the story.
Edit all story elements!
All slides are given in an editable format so you are free to personalize the story for your students. PowerPoint is required to edit. Only story elements can be changed, not the actual problems.
