By the end of this unit, students will be able to:
- understand the concept of factorization and its importance in algebra;
- apply different methods to factorize quadratic expressions, including common factors, grouping, and special patterns;
- solve quadratic equations by setting factors equal to zero.
Curriculum Alignment: Key Stage 4: Algebra
- solve quadratic equations {including those that require rearrangement} algebraically by factorising, {by completing the square and by using the quadratic formula}; find approximate solutions using a graph
