Factoring: Difference of Two Squares focuses on the concept of factoring algebraic expressions that are in the form of a² - b², and is an important tool for helping students develop their algebraic manipulation skills.
The problems range from simple expressions to those where a common factor must be taken out first, and even expressions where the terms inside the parentheses have a coefficient different to 1 or -1. There are sixteen questions over two sections, and an extension too.
