When factoring trinomials you can use multiple methods like the inspection method, but this method I’m going to show you is using algebra tiles, which helps for those who are more visual learners. It can be difficult sometimes to figure out how to sort the tiles so they make a perfect square, but with practice, and trial and error you will get better at figuring out how to assort them quicker. First you need to know what each tile is equal to so in my diagram below  I have shown you which one is equal to which. To factor a trinomial you are basically just breaking down the equation, with this method you are given the tiles but it’s up to you to sort them properly.
