[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson applies factoring a quadratic equation to other types of polynomials that are in "quadratic form."

This worksheet is part of the TI-Nspire lesson on the quadratic formula. Pupils determine the solutions of a quadratic function by looking at a graph and the discriminant. They use the quadratic formula to solve quadratic functions on...

One of the many methods of solving quadratic equations is graphing. A video lesson first demonstrates graphing a quadratic function using an input-output table. After graphing the parabola, the instructor makes the connection between the...

Determine the quickest process for solving quadratics. Pupils compare the number of steps in the process of solving quadratics using three different methods. Scholars determine which situations lend themselves to the different solving...

For this solving quadratic equations worksheet, students select the best method to solve a quadratic equation and then solve five quadratics.  Fully worked examples  are provided.

The last step of solving a quadratic factoring problem is often the stumbling block for algebra learners. Setting each factor equal to zero and solving the mini-equations isn't an intuitive process to learners new to the zero...

Polynomials are full of solutions! Learners understand that the degree determines the number of solutions. Examples show quadratic equations solved by factoring and by using the quadratic formula. A cubic equation is even mixed in for...
