This math unit initiates with the basic fundamentals of factoring quadratic equations, specifically focusing on transforming them into their factored forms. Initially, students practice factoring quadratics where a common factor is removed, enhancing their ability to simplify these expressions into binomials. As they progress, the unit shifts towards more complex applications, requiring students to identify and factor out the greatest common factor from quadratics presented in standard form. Further advancing, the unit tackles the challenge of splitting quadratic expressions with a leading coefficient by identifying numbers that appropriately add up to and multiply into particular values derived from the coefficients. Students practice these skills through a combination of split-term techniques and identifying common factors across different terms of the quadratic expressions. Towards the end of the unit, the emphasis lies on consolidating and applying various factoring skills to not only solve but also to correctly identify the most simplified forms of quadratic equations. This progression ensures a deepened understanding of polynomial factoring in quadrics, particularly in manipulating and solving expressions with leading coefficients.Skills you will learn include:
