Very useful and time saving presentation. Thank you for sharing.
Huge lesson on completing the square which is fully differentiated. May need two lessons for this.
Students practice writing in completed square form, assess themselves.
They they practice solving quadratics by completing the square, again assessment.
They then finish off with a past exam question.
You may want to add in stuff about minimum points throughout but that's up to you!
An NQT and this is my own resource so all feedback welcomed!

Excellent and easy to follow
This is designed to take the students from simple expanding a bracket to simple factorising to multiplying out two brackets to factorising quadratics to simplifying algebraic fractions to solving quadratics by completing the square to solving quadratics using the quadratic formula and simultaneous equations involving quadratics. There are questions for each as well as examples and explanations. Between each section there is a 'Where are you now?' section to show progress.

Thorough and well designed resource. Was taught A-level by Mr Lutwyche and now borrowing his resources to teach maths myself at secondary :)

Solve the quadratic equations by completing the square to find the punchline to a (pretty average) joke. My Year 12s liked it as a quick reminder though! Some involve rearranging first and they aren't too difficult - I will use them with Year 11 too.

These questions (with full solutions) are carefully chosen for students to take the first steps, then strengthen their skills in changing a quadratic expression into its completed square form.
