Solving for X with Quadratic Equations

One topic. Three methods. At least one will click.

Quadratic equations are one of the first places students hit a wall in Ontario math. This workbook covers the same skill three different ways — so if factoring doesn't land, completing the square might, and if that's still fuzzy, the quadratic formula is right there. Each method is worked through step by step, with full examples and practice problems.

Factoring

Break the quadratic into two binomials. Fast when it works — and this workbook shows you exactly when it does.

Completing the square

Rewrite the equation into vertex form. Slower but always works, and it builds intuition for the graph.

Quadratic formula

Plug in a, b, c and solve. The universal fallback — and once students know it cold, they're never stuck.
