This activity practices solving complete quadratic equations with complex solutions by completing the square and by the quadratic formula. All the equations have terms on both sides. Partners have similar type of problems so as to meet similar difficulties. They will each have their own set of twelve equations which must be solved by a specified method. The amusing part of this product is creating compound words corresponding to the solution sets of the quadratic equations given.
Activity Directions: Partners are instructed to solve half of their problems by completing the square and the other half – by the quadratic formula. Using a table given, they find which two words correspond to the solution set of each of their equations and make compound words. They record their findings in another table provided.
Students show detailed solutions on student recording sheets specially designed for this activity or they can solve the problems on a separate sheet of notebook paper. Answer keys are included.
I hope your students enjoy this activity.
