Asking students to create the problems reinforces division as the inverse of multiplication, and gives them investment in the work as they solve each others' problems. I have had the same experience with my students that you describe - they all want to know who wrote each problem, and for some reason it is motivating for them. Plus, when they create the problems, they are doing the work instead of you!<br /><br />In case you do want to find some other factoring resources, it seems that they are pretty focused on this topic in the UK. Resourcaholic has categorized a nice set of factoring problems: http://www.resourceaholic.com/p/resource-library-key-stage-34-algebra.html<br /><br />And here, you'll find a set to chellenge even the strongest students:<br />http://mathsmalakiss.com/gcseworksheets.html<br /><br />Thanks as always for sharing!Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678868201951749642noreply@blogger.com
