Lesson plan 6.3 The Quadratic Formula

Subject:MPM2D MATHEMATICS

Grade: 10

Lesson No: 6.3

Duration: 3 hours

Unit 6 - Quadratic Equations

Topic: 6.3 The Quadratic Formula

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)

explore the algebraic development of the quadratic formula (e.g., given the algebraic development, connect the steps to a numerical example; follow a demonstration of the algebraic development [student reproduction of the development of the general case is not required]); – 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.).
