Lesson plan 4.5 Reasoning about Factoring Polynomials

Subject:MPM2D MATHEMATICS

Grade: 10

Lesson No: 4.5

Duration: 3 hours

Unit 4 - Factoring Algebraic Expressions

Topic: 4.5- Reasoning about Factoring Polynomials

Overall Expectations (Directly from The Ontario Curriculum)

• determine the basic properties of quadratic relations; • relate transformations of the graph of y = x2 to the algebraic representation y = a(x – h) 2 + k; • solve quadratic equations and interpret the solutions with respect to the corresponding relations; • solve problems involving quadratic relations

Specific Expectations (Directly from The Ontario Curriculum)

– solve quadratic equations that have real roots, using a variety of methods (i.e., factoring, using the quadratic formula, graphing) (Sample problem: Solve x2 + 10x + 16 = 0 by factoring, and verify algebraically. Solve x2 + x – 4 = 0 using the quadratic formula, and verify graphically using technology. Solve –4.9t 2 + 50t + 1.5 = 0 by graphing h = –4.9t 2 + 50t + 1.5 using technology.).
