Students use the quadratic formula to solve equations that are not easily factorable, with an emphasis on identifying coefficients and simplifying the result.
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 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.
