A comprehensive lesson on core parent functions for Algebra 2, focusing on identification, key features, and visual recognition using a blueprint theme.
A summative assessment covering the identification of graph features and solving quadratic equations using multiple methods.
A comprehensive review of all three methods (graphing, factoring, formula) and identifying key features to prepare for the unit assessment.
Students use the quadratic formula to solve equations that are not easily factorable, with an emphasis on identifying coefficients and simplifying the result.
Students learn to solve quadratic equations by factoring trinomials and using the Zero Product Property, focusing on real roots and equations in standard form.
Students explore the quadratic parent function, identify key features of parabolas (vertex, axis of symmetry, zeros), and learn to graph by plotting points.
A lesson focused on solving one-step inequalities involving negative coefficients, emphasizing the "sign flip" rule through real-world problem solving.
The final day of the unit focuses on students presenting their career research and budget projections to the class, demonstrating their oral communication and technological skills.
