Grade 10 - Academic (Multiplying Two Binomials)

Multiplying two binomials can be done with one of 3 different methods.
Method 1: FOIL (F-first, O-outside, I-inside, L-last).
Method 2: Chart Method (can't seem to copy a chart to paste it here) place the two factors along the top and along the left side. Multiply each term and place it inside the box.
Collect like terms. Always leave your answer simplified in lowest terms.
Method 3: Algebra tiles (as modeled in class)

Homework: pg. 225 - 229 #4, 6, 7, 8 a i-v, 17
