learnt and how will you record or note this

Activities and assessment tasks


Using the quadratic
formula as an
alternative strategy
to solve quadratic
equations
Understanding why
the finding the
discriminant is used
and how it can be
applied.

Class board work and discussion


Ex. 8.3 Q1-8(1/2) and 8.5 1-3
(1/2), 4-5

Notice book work while working on


exercises

Resources and Materials


Textbook (electronic), personal notes, white board markers

Student Teacher Focus


My focus for this lesson is to manage my time effectively when presenting the content, ensuring enough time for students to work and ask if any concerns, as many
sessions were lost due to PDs.

Context of lesson
Students are proficient in a variety of techniques such as completing the square, and factorising using the null factor. This is another technique to solve for x.

Stage 1 Introduction

Settle students. Recap last lesson (solving


equations using the null factor law).
Now, were going to use another technique called
the quadratic formaula

20 mins

Students to listen and


write notes. Ask if not
certain.

Go through notes on the board. Ask questions etc.

Class notes: Ex. 8.3 Quadratic formula Examples


(Refer to personal notes)

Stage 2 Body of lesson

Independent work: Ex. 8.3 The Quadratic formula

20 mins

Students to start and


work on exercises.
Ask questions if need
be.

Walk around the room, check up on students, relearn


names etc.

Class notes: Ex. 8.5 The discriminant (refer to


personal notes)

20 mins

Students to listen and


write notes. Ask if not
certain.

Go through pre-prepared notes on the board. Ask


questions

Why does the discriminant tell us? What do we know?


Possible responses:

X values

When x equals ?? y equals ??


What if we were to graph these examples?
(Use Desmos to grqph examples)
Using this example, what can we tell?

Stage 3: Conclusion

Independent work: Ex. 8.3 Q 1-3 (1/2), 4, 5


Time to try exercises in class

20 mins

Wrap up class, and pack up.


Ask questions such as:
What does the discriminant tell us?

5 mins

Students to work on
exercises, if help
needed, ask questions.
Students to ask
questions if need be

Continue to check on students.

Answer questions or queries.
