Previously Published Data 

1.) Use algebra tiles to find each quotient: 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

3) When you cannot factor, you can use a long division process similar to the one used in arithmetic.  


2.) Use the long division method above to find each quotient.  
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 



Previously Published Data 

1.) Given an equilateral triangle of side '2x' have them come up with an expression of the area. 


2.) Assign a word problem related to area with the students.
