Students learn how to solve quadratics in the form ax2+ bx + c = 0 by factorising.
As learning progresses, the factorisation becomes more challenging as the coefficient of x2is no longer a prime number.
Differentiated Learning Objectives
- All students should be able to solve a quadratic in the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 where a is prime and b and c are both positive.
- Most students should be able to solve a quadratic in the form ax2+ bx + c = 0 where a is prime.
- Some students should be able to solve a quadratic in the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 where is not prime.
