They remained engaged during the entire class. I'm glad to have the additional pages for future uses with both Algebra and Honors Algebra. Thank you! - My students enjoyed this activity. They enjoy coloring and figuring out what the word was. Super engaging. Highly recommend. - This was a wonderful activity for my honors precal class when reviewing factoring. I used the mixed practice activity and let the class work in collaborative teams. I love that the words and factors are not easily figured out so the students must factor. I look forward to having the bundle on hand whenever practice is needed. - I have used this multiple times since I have downloaded it. A great resource and has challenging and thought-provoking problems for the students, not just your regular old process problems. - love love love these! The self-checking for students allows them to go back and see what the did wrong before turning in the paper! - These worksheets were a great way for my students to get the practice that they need with the various methods of factoring quadratic expressions. The problems feature a good variety of rigor, which is perfect for group or partner work. My students found the process of searching for all of the terms within the grid a little tedious, but they worked together to make sure their grid was colored correctly. - This resource allowed me give my class additional practice with factorizing in a fun way and the students appreciated the clear, straight forward appearance. - Very fun activity!!! I had my class work in groups of three to complete certain pages as a factoring review assignment and they were fully engaged for multiple class periods. Thank you so much! - I especially appreciate that they students cannot simply multiply the choices and find the answers, but they really have to know how to factor. - These were perfect for review. I gave these out during winter break and the students really enjoyed them. I even gave extra credit for those who could figure out the connection between the words. - Love everything about this product. The problems are challenging and I love that there different types of factoring problems.
