LINEAR & QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
OVERVIEW
Students will be revisiting and then building on their understanding of how to form and solve linear equations from KS3 to find the solution of simultaneous equations by both algebraic and graphical methods.
Expanding brackets will be revisited as an introduction to factorising and solving quadratics. Higher tier students will then have the knowledge and understanding required to solve sets of simultaneous equations where one is linear and the other is quadratic following learning all methods of solving a quadratic equation.
The previous lessons for this half term can be found here.
