I really like using this worksheet to reinforce the fact that factoring is all about patterns. My students always think it’s impossible at first. I do one or two problems with them, and they finish it quickly. This worksheet is not my creation. I think it’s been around in various forms for a long time. However, it works well for my students, so I hope it will help yours!
For some reason, the symbols look strange before you download. However, download the file anyway and it should be fine then.
