Understanding Quadratic Equations
Initially, students learn the standard form of a quadratic equation and methods to solve it, such as factoring, completing the square, and using the quadratic formula. They apply these methods to find roots of quadratic equations. By Year 5, students explore the applications of quadratics in physics, architecture, and economics, understanding their curves and how they model real-world situations.
Solving Quadratic Equations
Students start with simple quadratic equations, using methods like factoring and completing the square. They progress to more sophisticated techniques such as the quadratic formula. By Year 5, they solve quadratic equations in complex scenarios, including projectile motion and optimisation problems in business and science.
Graphing Quadratic Equations
Initially, students graph quadratic equations by finding the vertex and plotting points. They explore how changes in the equation affect the graph's shape and position. By Year 5, students use graphing to solve quadratic equations and understand their applications in projectile motion, optics, and market analysis.
