Lesson Plan: Linear and Quadratic Equations for Grade 10 Topic: Understanding and Solving Linear and Quadratic Equations Grade Level: 10 Student: Jaden Duration: 60 minutes Objective By the end of the lesson, Jaden will be able to: 1. Solve linear equations confidently using algebraic methods. 2. Understand the characteristics of quadratic equations. 3. Factorize quadratic equations and solve for the variable. Lesson Structure 1. Introduction (5 minutes) Engage Discussion Starter: ○ Ask Jaden: "Can you think of real-life situations where equations might be used?" Examples could include calculating distances, predicting costs, or analyzing trends. Fun Fact: Share the historical tidbit about the first equals sign by Robert Recorde in 1557. Recap Previous Lesson: Briefly review inequalities and number lines from the demo class to build a connection. 2. Solving Linear Equations (15 minutes) What is a Linear Equation? Definition: An equation where the variable’s highest power is 1. Example: 2x+5=92x + 5 = 92x+5=9 Steps to Solve Linear Equations 1. Expand brackets (if any). 2. Move variable terms to one side, constants to the other. 3. Group and simplify. 4. Solve for the variable. 5. Check: Substitute the solution back into the equation. Guided Practice 1. Solve 4(2x−9)−4x=4−6x4(2x - 9) - 4x = 4 - 6x4(2x−9)−4x=4−6x step-by-step together. 2. Show how to check the solution using substitution. Independent Practice Provide Jaden with simpler problems to solve: ○ 2y−3=72y - 3 = 72y−3=7 ○ 2c=c−82c = c - 82c=c−8 3. Introduction to Quadratic Equations (20 minutes) What is a Quadratic Equation? Definition: An equation where the variable’s highest power is 2. Examples: ○ x2+5x+6=0x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0x2+5x+6=0 ○ 3x2−7x+2=03x^2 - 7x + 2 = 03x2−7x+2=0 Comparison with Linear Equations Linear: At most one solution. Quadratic: Up to two solutions. Method: Solving Quadratics by Factorization 1. Rewrite in standard form: ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0ax2+bx+c=0. 2. Factorize: Break the equation into two binomials. 3. Solve: Set each binomial to 0. 4. Check: Substitute back into the original equation. Worked Example 1. Solve 3x2+2x−1=03x^2 + 2x - 1 = 03x2+2x−1=0: ○ Factorize: (x+1)(3x−1)=0(x + 1)(3x - 1) = 0(x+1)(3x−1)=0 ○ Solutions: x=−1x = -1x=−1 and x=13x = \frac{1}{3}x=31. 4. Practice Problems (15 minutes) Linear Equations 1. 3=1−2c3 = 1 - 2c3=1−2c 2. 4b+5=−74b + 5 = -74b+5=−7 Quadratic Equations 1. 2x2−x−3=02x^2 - x - 3 = 02x2−x−3=0 2. x2+2x−15=0x^2 + 2x - 15 = 0x2+2x−15=0 Challenge Question: Solve x2−2x+1=0x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0x2−2x+1=0. Discuss why this equation has only one solution. 5. Recap and Homework (5 minutes) Recap Key Points: 1. The method for solving linear and quadratic equations. 2. Importance of checking solutions. Homework 1. Complete exercises: ○ 12y+0=14412y + 0 = 14412y+0=144 ○ x2+7x+10=0x^2 + 7x + 10 = 0x2+7x+10=0 2. Reflect: Write 2-3 sentences explaining the difference between linear and quadratic equations.
