Factoring and Color Coding Activities

The video tutorial guides students through factoring a trinomial using a coloring sheet activity. It begins with an introduction to the concept of factoring and explains that the activity involves coloring based on the factors found. The teacher demonstrates factoring a specific trinomial, using decimals to find the necessary numbers. Once the factors are identified, students are instructed to color sections of the sheet according to the results. The tutorial concludes with instructions on adjusting colors if needed and encourages students to complete the remaining problems.
