12/8 Algebra 2

Today we learned the final method for solving a quadratic equation, the quadratic formula. I derived the formula for the students on the board, then showed them how to use it to solve an equation. See some more examples here. Students practiced using the quadratic formula on a worksheet, then did a short graded assignment. They will also be doing a review worksheet for homework, as we will be having a quiz over Chapter 5 on Tuesday.

Homework:
page 295 #'s 17-40 every 3rd problem & Chapter 5 Review Worksheet
