Students will know the derivation of the quadratic formula, and additionally how and why to use it. With these skills they will solve equations and come up with a fun way to teach the quadratic formula to a class of alien students from the planet Nomathus.

Teacher Introduction

This lesson is to get kids excited about the Quadratic Formula. I think that once you know something well enough to teach it, you can consider it mastered.
