An Algebra 1 factoring app for ages 12-15 built on the area model: a rectangle with sides (x + a)(x + b) split into x^2, ax, bx, and ab regions. Build Mode steppers update the factored and expanded forms live (with a negatives toggle using hatched signed regions). Factor It sets 8 reverse challenges from x^2 + 5x + 6 to x^2 - 3x - 10 with the multiply-to/add-to hint. Multiply Back walks First/Outer/Inner/Last region by region, ending on 'factoring is just multiplying in reverse.'
