Lesson Plan

Solve a quadratic equation by rewriting it in standard form and choosing the fastest method from its form: the zero-product principle, the square-root method, completing the square, or the quadratic formula

Apply the zero-product principle to a factored quadratic equation, producing both roots with correct signs, and explain why the product must equal zero and no other value

Solve $x^2 = k$ and $(x+h)^2 = k$ by the square-root method, reporting both roots and handling $k<0$ and $k=0$

Complete the square to solve a quadratic, including when $a \neq 1$ and when $b$ is odd

Apply the quadratic formula correctly, including when $a$ is negative and when the roots are irrational
