Description |
| Solving Quadratic Equations by Completing the square: | Students will model the process of completing the square (leading coefficient of 1) with algebra tiles, and then practice solving equations using the completing the square method. This lesson provides a discovery opportunity to conceptually see why the process of squaring half of the b value is considered completing the square. |
| Solving Quadratics - Exploring Different Methods: | Students will explore how different methods find the solutions (roots) to quadratic equations including, factoring, graphing, and the quadratic formula. |
| Discovering Properties of Parabolas by Comparing and Contrasting Parabolic Equations: |
- Teachers can use this resource to teach students how to derive the equation of a parabola in vertex form y = a(x – h)2 + k, when given the (x, y) coordinates of the focus and the linear equation of the directrix.
- An additional interactive graphing spreadsheet can be used as a resource to aid teachers in providing examples.

They will learn the meaning of what exactly a parabola is by physically representing a parabola, vertex, and directrix. Students will be able to write an equation of a parabola given only a vertex and directrix. |

| Hip to be (completing the) Square: | This lesson is an introduction to completing the square. Students will learn what it means to "complete the square" with a quadratic trinomial expression. They will practice both with manipulatives and mathematically, and will then use that information to find the maximum or minimum value of an expression using the vertex form of a quadratic. This lesson moves through all levels of Concrete, Representational, Abstract instruction. |

Students will predict what will happen to the graph of a quadratic function when more than one constant is in a quadratic equation. Then, the students will graph quadratic equations in vertex form using their knowledge of the translations of a quadratic function, as well as describe the translations that occur. Students will also identify the parent function of any quadratic function as  . |
| The Quadratic Quandary: | Students will sort various quadratic equations by the method they would use for solving (ie. factoring, quadratic formula). Then as a class they justify their placements and eventually discover that there are many ways to solve and that some make sense in different situations, however there is no real "correct" method for each equation type. |
