This lesson focuses on multiplying linear expressions or binomials. Students see several different methods to multiply two binomial expressions, including a mental method similar to FOIL. They also use area models for multiplying two binomials, similar to using algebra tiles. Students then solve quadratic equations (with a constant term of zero) by factoring out an x and setting each factor equal to zero. Students conclude the lesson by finding the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of several numbers and of several algebraic expressions with exponents.
