Solve quadratic equations by factoring.
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Use the distributive property to simplify expressions with manipulatives.
  • Use a template to expand and simplify the product of binomials.
  • Use algebra tiles to multiply binomials.
  • Use algebra tiles to factor quadratic equations.
  • Order the steps for multiplying binomials.
  • Order the steps for factoring quadratic equations.
  • Calculate the squares and square roots of rational numbers using appropriate tools.
  • Identify the factors of rational numbers using appropriate tools.
Representation:
  • Use the distributive property to simplify equations.
  • Use models to determine the factors of quadratics.
  • Use tools appropriately to determine factors for constants and coefficients (i.e., multiplication tables, calculators, multiplication matrixes).
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: factor, coefficient, terms, exponent, base, constant, variable, binomial, monomial, polynomial.
  • Find the zeros of the equation.
General Information
Number: MAFS.912.A-REI.2.AP.4c
Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 07/14
Cluster: Solve equations and inequalities in one variable. (Algebra 1 - Major Cluster) (Algebra 2 - Supporting Cluster) : 

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
