Students will practice choosing the best method to solve a quadratic equation (factoring, square roots, completing the square, and the quadratic formula) with this “Triples Activity”. There are 12 equations total. Students must identify three equations to solve by factoring, three equations to solve by square roots, three equations to solve by completing the square, and three equations to solve by the quadratic formula. Rational and irritational solutions included.
Note: There are two versions of the equations included. One version with all equations in standard form (set equal to 0), and another version in which the equations are not in standard form and have terms on both sides. Choose the version that works best for your students.
Once students have chosen their methods, they record the equation letter in the circle in the corresponding method row, then solve. The letters will make the assignment easier to grade.
