Weds: Factoring foldable for special cases. Practice factoring special cases of quadratics. We will learn the 4th method of solving quadratics - completing the square. Fill out notes in our foldable and examples. HW: pg. 582 #'s 8-16 even. We will then sort quadratics by the method that would be easiest, and students will work together to solve #’s 1-8 in our packet over quadratics, choosing the best method and solving for the roots.
Fri: Students will then solve the independent practice sheet for a grade. We will discuss transformation of quadratic functions in vertex form and fill out a packet of notes together. Students will begin a test review for quadratic equations.
Week of 2/22 - 2/26
Mon: Review standard and vertex form for quadratics.
Weds: Learn factored/intercept form of quadratics. Discuss how to change from one form to another. Begin learning how to solve for roots (4 method foldable). 1st method: quadratic formula. Fill in notes, do a couple examples in class pg. 588 #5-13 odd. Finish for HW if not finished in class.
Fri: Learn the 2nd method of solving quadratics: square root method. Go through examples in class and practice. Have students complete worksheet examples for HW. Students will learn how to use the FOIL method to factor polynomials. Go through examples. Show students how to do the reverse FOIL. Do examples
