Expanding and Common Factoring

Today in my 2P math class we were working on expanding and common factoring using the area model. We did a warm-up where we needed to fill in the blanks to understand how we can multiply with the area model.

We then connected the idea to multiplying with algebra and the area model. We looked at how to fill in the blanks inside the box, or outside the box.

Class was cut short due to a pep rally, but we’ll keep working on this tomorrow as well.
