Factoring GCF, Grouping, Trinomials a =1

What is the first question you ask yourself when factoring a polynomial? 

• How many terms does it have? 
• Is there a GCF? 
• What strategy should I use? 
• Why do I have to learn this?!?!?!

• FOIL
• asking the teacher every time
• assume you're correct
• division
