<p>To summarize the key concepts from the lesson, pose these sample questions again to see if students have learned all of these situations:</p>
<ul>
  <li> Which strategy is applicable to factoring binomials? (difference of squares; factoring the GCF) </li>
  <li> Which strategy is applicable to factoring trinomials of the form \(x^2 + bx +c\)? (undoing FOIL) </li>
  <li> Which strategy is applicable to factoring trinomials of the form \(ax^2 + bx +c\)? (trial and error, the &ldquo;\(ac\)&rdquo; method) </li>
  <li> Which strategy is applicable to factoring trinomials of the form \(ax^2 \pm 2ab + b^2\)? (perfect square trinomials) </li>
  <li> Which strategy is applicable to factoring polynomials with 4 expressions? (grouping) </li>
  <li> Which strategy is applicable to polynomials that don&rsquo;t seem to factor easily? (substitution, grouping, factoring the GCF) </li>
</ul>
