What's In Your Future?!?! Multiplying Binomials

Will you be a race car driver? Will you have 10 kids? Where will you live? All these can be answered with some multiplying binomials!!

So to expand upon my Clue Factoring Activity, I decided to do something different with multiplying binomials. Using the same concept, you will solve the problems to reveal your future! Kind of like the old MASH game.

 

The students were thoroughly enjoying it. They were completely engaged in the activity and groan grumbles and cheers went through the class as they revealed their destiny.

There are 3 versions with all the same problems, just the answers are mixed up. 

For answer keys, please email camfan54@att.net from an official teacher school or professional account that I can verify. I have had a number of students and generic email accounts request keys. I don't want to ruin the integrity of an assignment for any of you. Thank you and hope you understand.

Enjoy discovering the secrets to your future!

Factoring FUN!

I'm going to expand this post later but wanted to share the couple of factoring resources I made for this week.  As of 1/29/18 these are all a=1.  I'm going to be out 3 days this week so I am taking factoring slow.

As of 1/30/18, I have two more resources below. 

On the Clue Activity, there are 3 versions of the 'crime' but all the same problems and numbers.  I just mixed up the suspects, weapons and rooms.

This card template was adapted from this Karen Cookie Jar Post.  A just added the answers.  It was also an older version of word so the formatting is a little wonky but prints on our printers correctly.  I recommend you print a Word copy first to check.  The PDF should be fine.

I Heart Factoring creates a picture when matched with the correct trinomial.... guess what the picture is?!?!

Another factoring Activity for Algebra 1... A Mystery Picture!  I included a student WS to make sure they factor and do not multiply.  As they find the answers, that tells them to color that letter a certain color.  And at the end they have a snazzy picture!

1/10/18 - A new Clue Activity for Solving Quadratics by Factoring.  I made it specific to my students and school but it is easily editable for your classes.  My students loved the first version and get really excited when they see their names in problems.  There are 3 versions of the 'crime' but all the same problems and numbers.  I just mixed up the suspects, crimes and locations.

Get these resources for FREE here! Or clicking on the pictures of each activity.

As always, please let me know if you see any mistakes or corrections and if you create anything you'd like to share!

Thanks!
