The document provides instructions for an individual activity where students must follow 16 directions within 2 minutes to complete tasks like writing their name, drawing shapes, and tapping their desk. It asks what implications the activity might have if directions are not followed properly. The second part of the document provides examples of factoring polynomials using greatest common factor and common monomial factoring methods. It includes practice problems for students to determine the greatest common factor, quotient, and factored form. The document emphasizes following directions and learning different factoring techniques.

Activities involving choosing the correct factored form for polynomials, with provided answers to confirm understanding.
INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY
Get apiece of paper and a pen.
Do all of the directions given by writing them down
in your paper. There are 16 directions you need to
follow in 2 minutes ONLY so you must hurry!
3.
1. Read allthe 16 steps first before doing or
writing anything.
2. Write your surname in the center of your
paper.
3. At the top of your surname, write numbers
1 to 10.
4. Draw three hearts at the top of number 3.
5. Shade the second heart.
4.
6. Encircle alleven numbers (2, 4, 6, 8, 10).
7. At the bottom of your paper, write your first
name.
8. Fold your paper in half. (making 2 columns)
9. Open your paper and wave to the teacher.
10.Draw a triangle at the back of your paper.
5.
11.Put an “X”in the center of the triangle.
12.Use the tip of your pen to poke a hole in
your paper straight through the “X” mark.
13.Tap your desk 10 times.
14.Write your teacher’s name anywhere in
the paper.
6.
15.If you havecarefully done all steps, say
“I’M DONE!”
16.Now that you have finished reading
everything, do only steps 1 and 2.

CMF is likesplitting an expression into
two factors, obtaining a common factor
from all terms.

1. Find theGCF of the numerical
coefficients; Find the variable with the
least exponent in each term of the
polynomial.
2. Divide each term in the polynomial by
the obtained GCF. The resulting
quotient is the other factor.
