Quadratic Functions and Equations | 10-Lesson Unit

The Quadratic Functions and Equations Unit is a comprehensive 10-lesson sequence designed to help students develop a deep understanding of quadratics. Covering key topics such as graphing, solving, and analyzing quadratic equations, this unit provides a step-by-step approach to mastering quadratic functions and their real-world applications.

Students will:

• Learn the fundamentals of quadratic equations and their key properties
• Graph quadratic functions and analyze their features, including the vertex, axis of symmetry, and roots
• Explore multiple methods for solving quadratic equations, including factoring, completing the square, and using the quadratic formula
• Understand the role of the discriminant in determining the number and type of solutions
• Apply quadratic equations to real-world scenarios, including projectile motion and optimization problems
• Compare different forms of quadratic equations and their uses
• Expand their knowledge to include quadratic inequalities and conic sections

Designed for Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 students, this unit aligns with Common Core standards and provides a structured approach to quadratic concepts. Each lesson includes interactive activities, guided practice, and problem-solving applications to reinforce learning.

Educators can use each lesson independently or as part of the full sequence for a complete understanding of quadratic functions and equations.
