Title: Solving Equations / Plotting Quadratics
Room 28

Part 1: Solving Equations
Learning Objectives

Grade D
To be able to demonstrate a method for solving linear equations
with unknowns on both sides and/or brackets.
Can you explain how to simplify these equations so they only have
one unknown?
 
To be able to demonstrate a method for solving linear equations where the variable occurs in the numerator of a fraction.
What is the reverse operation of division?

Grade C
To be able to demonstrate how to change the subject of an
equation.
Why might we want to change the subject of an equation? Can you
give a real life example?

Resources





Grade D
Solving equations with unknowns on one side MEP 10.5, pages 8 - 12

Grade C
Solving equations with unknowns on two sides MEP 10.5, pages 12 - 14


Part 2: Plotting Quadratics
Title: Solving Quadratics using Graphs
Room: 22
Learning Objectives 
Grade C
To be able to solve quadratic equations from their graphs.
How many solutions do you expect there to be?

Resources 




In groups plot the graphs of one (or two) of the equations on the slide.
Create a group poster (example on slide) with graph.





Look at further examples of factorizing to solve quadratics.
