This lesson plan aims to teach Grade 9 students how to solve quadratic equations by factoring. It includes 5 online questions for students to practice factoring quadratic equations. It then gives students a word problem about the area of a rectangular pathway and asks them to draw a diagram, write mathematical statements representing the length, width and area, and write an equation for the area of the pathway. Finally, it gives two diagrams with shaded regions and asks students to write the quadratic equations describing the shaded areas and find the lengths and widths. The lesson plan aims to enhance students' understanding and ability to solve quadratic equations by factoring and apply these skills to real-world situations.
