Quadratic Equations
Equations, Inequalities, and Functions | Estimated Time 5 hrs
Mini-Lesson Targeted Skill:
Engage learners in a targeted content-driven presentation based on a specific lesson, skill of study. Provide a brief explanation of the skill relevance through modeling and demonstrations. Be prepared to remediate and or reteach when necessary.
(15-20 minutes)
The learner will be able to factor and apply zero product property to solve quadratic equations.
Instructional Materials/Activity
Videos:
(All lesson notes and or annotation should be supported by a topic/ skill driven Outline Template, to assist learners in summarizing the key skills covered).
Activity:
Two by Two (Partner Factoring)
Key Vocabulary
Independent Practice
Facilitate learning groups to engage in problem-based learning to reinforce mini lesson. Students self-explore.
(20-25 minutes)
The learner groups will analyze and practice solving quadratic equations using the (ax2+bx+c=0) formula as demonstrated in the mini-lesson.By completing the follwing activity:
Partner a will solve the first equation by factoring while Partner B solves the same equation by using the Quadratic formula.
Guided Practice
Engage with small groups to guide lines of thinking.
(20-25 minutes)
The instructor will engage short oral formative assessment on
Activity 1:
Quadratic Equations Matching game
The instructor will start the timer/stopwatch.
Each pair and or small group will receive an iPad with the QR reader app.
The students will then work together to solve.
Lesson Flip/Pull-Outs
Work with the learner to demonstrate mastery utilizing instructor-selected tools through presentation and/or pull-outs.
(20-25 minutes)
The student will give a whiteboard tutorial using the Show Me app of two Functions problems for understanding.
Personal Skill Development
Provide an opportunity for students to utilize online learning tools to facilitate individualized instruction.

The Probe
Provide an opportunity for students to review, ask additional questions, reflect on changes to their thinking, and identify new skills they have developed.
(15-20 minutes)
Sharing learner success and challenges by asking the students what they have learned about strategies on how to solve Quadratic Equations
Post Instructional Reflection
Review the learner artifacts and exit tickets from each group. Develop a plan of remediation, reteach and or review. Ask yourself: How effective was the instruction?
