2. Students will solve real world problems by writing and factoring equations.Connections – Common Core Standards (college and career readiness standards for math)Core Practices (4): Look for and make use of structure.Program of Studies MA-HS-AT-S-VEO9Students will factor quadratic polynomials. Kentucky Core ContentMA-HS-5.2.1Students will apply order of operations, real number properties (identity, inverse, commutative, associative, distributive, closure) and rules of exponents (integer) to simplify algebraic expressions. MA-HS-5.2.3Students will:add, subtract and multiply polynomial expressions; factor polynomial expressions using the greatest common monomial factor and factor quadratic polynomials of the form ax2 + bx + c, when a = 1 and b and c are integers.MA-HS-5.2.4Students will factor quadratic polynomials, such as perfect square trinomials and quadratic polynomials of the form ax2 + bx + c when a ≠ 1 and b and c are integers.Context – Students are primarily from rural communities and are generally from upper middleclass families. This lesson is taught on day 5 of the Factoring Unit. It continues students learning to understand factoring quadratics when a is an integer other than one. The previous lessons were:Factoring Pattern for x2+bx+c.
