STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:
BIG IDEAS:
Unit 7: Quadratic functions: (Chapter 6 & 7-9)
Relations and functions are mathematical
relationships that can be represented and
analyzed using words, tables, graphs, and
equations.


Graphing quadratics
Solving quadratic equations by graphing
Solving quadratic equations by factoring
Completing the square
Quadratic formula and discriminant
Analyzing graphs of quadritics
Graphing and solving quadratic inequalities
Square root functions and inequalities
Families of functions exhibit properties and
behaviors that can be recognized across
representations. Functions can be transformed,
combined, and composed to create new
functions in mathematical and real world
situations.
KEYSTONE ANCHORS:
A2.1.1.1 Represent and/or use imaginary
numbers in equivalent forms (e.g., square roots
and exponents).
A2.1.1.2 Apply the order of operations in
computation and in problem‐solving situations.
A2.1.2.1 Use exponents, roots, and/or absolute
values to represent equivalent forms or to solve
problems.
A2.1.3.1 Write and/or solve non‐linear
equations using various methods.
A2.2.1.1 Analyze and/or use patterns or
relations.
A2.2.2.1 Create, interpret, and/or use
polynomial, exponential, and/or logarithmic
functions and their equations, graphs, or tables.
A2.2.2.2 Describe and/or determine families of
functions.
ELIBIBLE CONTENT:
M11.D.2.1.5 Solve quadratic equations using
factoring (integers only – not including completing the
square or the Quadratic Formula).
M11.D.4.1.3 Determine the maximum or minimum of
a quadratic function.
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
 Solving a quadratic equation by graphing, factoring,



or the quadratic formula.
Relating the graph and function of a quadratic
function that has 0, 1, or 2 zeros.
Relate the discriminant to the type and number of
solutions of a quadratic equation.
Continue using computations with real, imaginary,
and complex numbers.

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
How can you extend algebraic properties and
processes to quadratic, exponential and
polynomial expressions and equations and then
apply them to solve real world problems?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of the
various methods to represent exponential
functions (table, graph, equation) and how do
we choose the most appropriate
representation?
