Standards
#1 A1.1.1.5.2: Factor algebraic expressions, including difference of squares and trinomials (trinomials limited to the form
ax2+bx+c where a is equal to 1 after factoring out all monomial factors).
#2 M11.A.1.2.1: Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) and/or the Least Common Multiple (LCM) for sets of
monomials.
#3 M11.A.1.1.3: Simplify square roots. (e.g.,√24 = 2√6)

Final Product
The final product will be: Students will create an Algebra II math workbook. They will use a graphic organizer to complete each topic.
Each topic will need to have definition(s), example, and two practice problems. Within the example students should explain how to
solve each problem and should be able to apply their explanation to their practice problems.
