In Algebra 2 textbook, take a long look at 6-7 on the Remainder and Factor Theorems and see whether you can make sense of how we're being provided a new perspective on an old theme.
This is yet another instance where the content is being presented for you to have first 'dibs' on it such that when we meet in class, we end up having a dialogue rather than you having to be subjected to a lecture. The ultimate objective is for you to acknowledge that you can independently make sense of content and that my role (or the role of any math teacher) is to instigate and support when the need arises.
