I really was not understanding completing the square. I am not good at factoring in the first place. So when Mr. Jackson showed us how to do the steps I could see how they got the #'s that factor after someone got them but did not understand how to do it myself. The next day Mr. Jackson show us to us the idea of actually drawing a square and diamond to find the factor pairs. This method really made sense to me. I can find the factor pairs easier now and it really makes sense to me. I am glad that he introduced that other method.
