1. Do Now
Pick up the new calendar off the back table and Do Now half sheet
Grab a calculator
Find your new seat by looking at the chart
Get your homework sheet out for Ms. Taylor to stamp
Work on the “Do Now” Sheet

2. Homework check
Any questions?!

3. We need to “undistribute”
How would we solve this: 5(2x – 1)?
We would distribute the 5 to BOTH terms in the parentheses.
So to “undo” we “undistribute” (10x – 5) by factoring (Pulling out GCF)

4. We can also “undistribute” our warm up problem
Fancy math language: Find the GCF then use the distributive property to factor out the GCF.
What are we really doing? Take out the GCF and then write your “leftovers” on the inside.
Example: 10x2 + 6x

5. Let’s look at the last section of the guided notes…
Look where is says GCF of a Polynomial on the guided notes
Let’s go through this:
3x3y – 9x2y2

6. Let’s try the next example together
18z3 + 9z2 – 6z

7. Let’s try one more together…
Example: 12x3 – 8x2 + 16x

8. You try!
12a2b + 24a – 48b

9. Let’s try this one…might look different
12b3c7 – 4b2c3
When you take everything out, we have to leave a 1 as a placeholder!!

10. Let’s look at this example…
11n3x4 + 23r2b3
When they have nothing in common we call it PRIME!

11. Let’s look at the guided note sheet
