Location: Henry Clay		Steve Combs and I both used Bluma's method to teach factoing of ax^2 + bx + c today. We liked it a lot and although it's been a while since I taught Algebra 1, I'm quite sure they were faster at factoring than good ole guess and check. I think we were supposed to let the professor know how it went if we tried it. I can't find his contact info, though. Anybody have it?

Maybe Steve will post his nice hand-out for others to have. Mine was not very fancy.

Location: Henry Clay		Half of my students liked this method. The other half had trouble because of the number of steps and were confused with the fractions. Maybe with more practice it will be easier...
