Relationship Between Zeros and Coefficients of Quadratic Polynomials
Students will establish and apply the relationships between the zeros and coefficients of quadratic polynomials.
Key Questions
- Justify why the sum and product of zeros are directly related to the coefficients of a quadratic polynomial.
- Construct a quadratic polynomial given its zeros or the sum/product of its zeros.
- Evaluate the utility of these relationships in solving problems without explicitly finding the zeros.

Planning templates for Mathematics
5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
