Topic: Quadratic equations
Teaching process
Concepts taught:
1) relationship between the quadratic expansions and its geometrical representations. linked up with the practical origins which was used by Egyptians to find land area before they built the pyramids. linked to the proof of quadratic expansions and other identities such as the difference of two squares.
2) analyze a degree two polynomial equation with reference to the quadratic formula.
3) how to use the quadratic formula (highlighted that it is something extra, mainly applicable to those preparing for admission exams to other schools in Nov 2009)
Example questions gone through: 4 questions which I came out on the spot.
Practice questions given: changed the coefficients of two of the four examples covered for them to DIY.
