factorisation
Factorisation is when you break down a number or equation into smaller, easier parts that multiply together to make the original thing. It’s like math’s version of a group project, but everyone gets in trouble if they don’t do their part.
I tried to factorise 15, but I ended up with 3 and 5, which are just the math version of my parents.
My teacher said I factorised the polynomial wrong. I replied, 'I did it right, I just didn’t want to explain it.'
When I factorised x², 4, it felt like I finally got out of a math jail sentence.
