The purpose of this section is to provide you with some resources to review in preparation for the lesson ahead. These resources may include videos, interactive applets, mini-lessons, and flash games to help you recall previously learned concepts. You can use these resources before or after you try the Are You Ready? questions. Your teacher may also direct you to this section to review specific concepts.

1. Review the basics of extracting a square root from a monomial by watching “Square Root of a perfect square monomial"

2. To watch a video to see how the acronym FOIL can help you apply the distributive property when you are multiplying binomials, go to the video "Math Dude  - Multiplying Polynomials.”

3. Now watch “Mathcast 009 Using the Area Model to Illustrate Common Factoring of a Monomial and Binomial”  which reviews how you can use algebra tiles to model factoring by greatest common factor.

4. Watch “Mathcast 010 Using the Area Model to Factor Trinomials” that demonstrates how algebra tiles are used to model both binomial factors and trinomial products.

5. Finally, watch “Mathcast 012 Factoring—Decomposition Examples” . This video reviews the steps of decomposition and shows how these steps are applied to several examples.
