More Factoring

Mental math went pretty well, as I got 4/5. There's always a trick question, though. A perfect square trinomial is a rectangle. I treid the homework last night but did not get too far. Notes today were on Difference of Squares Factoring. This stuff I understand because the middle term is 0x. We got alga-tiles to play with, ut it is confusing and still does not seem practical. Here is a link to an algebra tile website that I found: http://my.hrw.com/math06_07/nsmedia/tools/Algebra_Tiles/Algebra_Tiles.html
... and then we throw fractions into the mix. I'm gonna have to take this slow.
