Factor Polynomials (Order 3) - By Grouping to Common Factors, Coefficient 1

This math topic focuses on practicing the skill of factoring third-order polynomials by grouping to find common factors, with a coefficient of 1. It delves into this technique by providing multiple problems where students must pair terms and factor out a common factor as the initial step in the polynomial factoring process. Each problem includes a polynomial expression and potential answers, indicating a structured approach to reach the factored form. This skill is introduced as an introductory unit on higher-order polynomial factoring.
