By the end of Unit 3, students will be able to: ● understand the difference between zeros of a quadratic function and the solutions of a quadratic function ● solve quadratic functions and equations using different methods ● perform operations on complex numbers

● write the equation of a quadratic function in different forms ● use quadratic equations to solve contextual problems

Honors: ● fnd the conjugate of complex numbers

● use the conjugate to perform operations on complex numbers ● rewrite a system of linear equation in matrix form as AX = B ● solve a system of linear equations using matrices ● use the determinant to determine whether an inverse exists ● use the augmented matrix method to fnd A -1 ● use matrix algebra to solve AX = B SCAFFOLDING IN ACTION

● Lesson 3.1: Explore - divide #8 - 11 among small groups and have them solve and present ● Lesson 3.2: Launch - create anchor charts for different formulas and post around the room, Explore - chunk #5 - 8 by breaking them down into parts ● Lesson 3.3: Explore - provide sentence frames for discussion, Discuss - partially completed graphic organizer on takeaways ● Lesson 3.4: Jump start - Which One Doesn’t Belong? Launch - compare and contrast Explore - review the 3 forms of a quadratic equation, discuss after problem 6, ● Lesson 3.5: Explore - have students choose one + and one - problem to do ● Lesson 3.6: Jump start - card sort ● Lesson 3.7: Launch - read aloud, Word-Phrase-Sentence, use contextual visuals, Explore - use graphing calculators for 8 - 12, use graph paper/colored pencils to record each graph, Discuss - Think-pair-share
