Unveiling Quadratic Equations: Exploring Real-Life Scenarios

Unveiling Quadratic Equations: Exploring Real-Life Scenarios

Learning Objective

Explore quadratic equations and their real-life applications.

What do you already know about quadratic equations?

Greeting and Objective Overview

Briefly introduce the topic and objectives of the lesson.

Review of Quadratic Equations

Discuss the standard form of a quadratic equation and the parabolic shape of its graph.

Real-Life Application Introduction

Discuss scenarios where quadratic equations are applicable and show a real-life scenario video.

Example Problem

Solve a problem involving a ball's trajectory and maximum height.

Guided Practice

Group activity: Divide students into small groups with different real-life quadratic problems.

Monitoring and Assistance

Circulate around the room to assist groups as needed.

Independent Practice

Worksheet completion and graphing practice.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
