Perfect Trinomial Square Factoring Fun Help Game Tips: - Perfect squares are formed by multiplying a quantity times itself, as in (3)(3) =9 . Here are six perfect squares: 16, 25, (-6)2, r2, (y+3)2, (2w-5t)2 . - A 'Perfect Trinomial Square' is the square of a binomial. For example, the perfect trinomial a2+2ab+b2 can be formed from (a+b)2. This means a2+2ab+b2 can be factored as (a+b)(a+b). - Similarly, the 'Perfect Trinomial Square' a2-2ab+b2 can be factored into the two factors (a-b)(a-b). If you check (a-b)(a-b) , it multiplies together to give you the perfect trinomial a2-2ab+b2. [To review multiplying a binomial times a binomial see the other SliderMath games.] - The 'Perfect Trinomial Square' y2+6y+9 can be factored as (y+3)(y+3). - The 'Perfect Trinomial Square' 4w2-20wt+25t2 can be factored as (2w-5t)(2w-5t). - Refresh/Reload the web page to start over again. - If the game doesn't respond to keyboard input, click inside the game area to reset the game's focus. - The score report automatically appears after you have made 10 choices. - The Factors score is based on your choices only and does not count the helicopter hits. - The Game score is reduced by the number of helicopter hits. - The game speeds up as your score increases.
