Factoring Quadratics Practice Packet | 148 Problems, a = 1 & AC Method with Answer Keys

Give your students the practice they need to master factoring trinomials, all in one printable download. Written by Brian McLogan, former high school math teacher of 14 years and creator of Free Math Videos, this packet takes students from x² + bx + c through the AC method with every possible problem for each case. Use it as classwork, homework, a review packet or extra practice before a test.

What's included

• a = 1 Practice (73 problems): Ordered, Scrambled and Random sets for x² + bx + c, covering every factorable case for c = 1 to 12
• AC Method Practice (75 problems): Ordered, Scrambled and Random sets for ax² + bx + c, covering every case for a = 2 to 4 and c = 1 to 4
• Ordered sets: problems grouped by a and c so students see the sign patterns build
• Scrambled sets: the same groups shuffled to break the pattern
• Random sets: every problem mixed together, like a real test
• Answer keys: every answer for both methods, organized to match the practice pages

Topics covered

• Factoring trinomials with a leading coefficient of 1
• Factoring with the AC method (a ≠ 1)
• Every sign pattern: +b +c, −b +c, +b −c, −b −c
• Perfect square trinomials and difference of squares

Great for

• Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 teachers
