Polynomials Algebra 1 Math Intervention Unit

My Algebra 1 intervention review unit on simplifying and factoring polynomials is an editable set of extra practice resources for students who are struggling with the topic. The worksheets are not meant to be used for full class lessons, although they could be if that is your preference.

Skills covered

• Adding polynomials
• Subtracting polynomials
• Multiplying polynomials
• Dividing polynomials by monomials
• Factoring x² + bx + c
• Factoring special polynomials (difference of two squares and perfect square trinomials)
• Factoring by grouping
• Factoring ax² + bx + c

What’s included

Each skill comes with the following resources:

• Tracking sheet: record the dates and scores for each activity as well as the entire unit.
• Pre and post assessments per skill cluster: a simple pre and post assessment will be included for each skill cluster.
• Scaffolded notes: notes that have been broken down for students to fill in the details. Since this will not be the first time students have seen the information, these notes are not as detailed as introductory notes. Two versions are included, blank and completely filled in.
• Review sheet: a quick review, a student input section and problems intended to be used as guided practice.
• Practice worksheet: use as independent or partner practice.
• Error analysis: each problem is solved incorrectly. Students identify the error(s) and then solve correctly.

How to use it

Keep the unit printed in a binder in your classroom. Intervention teachers, assistants or volunteers can grab it and work with a small group of students on a set of skills you choose.

Worksheets can be completed as printed sheets, or you can place them in sheet protectors and hand them out as reusable dry erase practice.

Good to know

An editable version is included. A few things about it:

• Instructions for editing are provided in the download. Read the “HOW TO EDIT” file first.
• You must have PowerPoint to use the editable file.
• The questions and headings may be edited, but the template itself may not be edited.
