ALGEBRA I Name_____________________________________________________ Models for factoring step 5: Grouping Period___________ Date____________________________________ All problems listed are from Structure & Method pages 225-226. All of the problems similar to each model are listed before the model; assigned problems are in bold below the corresponding model. Model I: Factor out the common factor. Model II: Rewrite a factor by taking its opposite. (# 1-4, 7, 11-14) (# 5, 6, 8-10) 4 . 8( ) 8. 2 + 2(2 ) HW: # 3, 7, 11 HW: # 5, 9 Model III: Factor each set of parenthesis first Model IV: Factor (1st & 2nd) & (3rd & 4th) terms. (# 15-20) (# 21-38) 18. 9 3 + (2 6) 26. ! 2 + 4 8 HW: # 15, 17, 19 HW: # 21, 25, 37

Model V: Use difference of squares with Model VI: Reorder to group the perfect square substitution trinomial, then factor as a difference of squares. (#39-44) (#45-54) 44. 4( + )! (2 )! 52. 4 ! 4 ! + 4 + 1 HW: # 39, 41, 43 HW: 45, 47, 53 Also complete #55-60. Hints: #55, 58, 59; Reorder to group the perfect square trinomial, then factor using models. #56, 57, 60; Reorder to group the difference of two squares, then factor using models.
