Numbers, Boxes, Tiles, Symbols: Making Factoring Accessible to All
About This Webinar
Presented by James Key
In this talk, James Key (@iheartgeo) offers some thoughts about how to teach students to multiply polynomials and to factor them. How do we connect algebra and arithmetic in a way that builds on students' prior knowledge? How do we develop students' understanding of the area model in a way that makes sense? How do we address common misconceptions that arise for these topics? And lastly, how do we demonstrate the general factoring algorithm in a way that is natural and convincing to students?

I am an eighth grade math teacher in PA. I teach Advanced Algebra and Intro to Algebra and Geometry. I have taught 7th - 12th all levels of math, but I enjoy middle school the most. I feel this is where I can make the biggest impact on my students attitude about math.

The Global Math Department began as a group of teachers who knew each other through Twitter, math education blogs and Twitter Math Camp. Since 2012 The Global Math Department community has grown into a multi-faceted group of math educators who love to share their ideas related to teaching and learning mathematics. We recognize that as educators we are charged with promoting equity and access within mathematics instruction. In addition, we believe it is crucial that teachers be provided with quality resources and ideas that they can use immediately with their students. Lively and friendly conversations in our weekly webinars encourage all participants to share and continue to grow as educators.
