Video Tutorial: Quadratics: Solving Quadratic Equations in Standard Form Using Algebra Tiles. This video shows students how to use algebra tiles to solve quadratic equations. Two examples are shown, one that shows how to solve a perfect square quadratic. The other shows how to complete the square using algebra tiles.

Video Tutorial: Quadratics: Solving Quadratic Equations in Standard Form Using the Quadratic Formula. In this video, students learn how to use the quadratic formula to solve quadratic equations. This includes cases where there are solutions and where there are no solutions. Students are introduced to the discriminant.

Video Tutorial: Quadratics: Solving Quadratic Equations with One Solution. In this video, students solve quadratic equations with one solution. These are quadratics that result in perfect squares. A Video Transcript is available for this tutorial. Note: The download is Media4Math's guide to closed captioned videos.

Video Tutorial: Quadratics: Using the Discriminant to Test for Solutions to Quadratic Equations. In this video students, learn how to calculate the discriminant and use it to analyze the quadratic function and determine the number of real roots it has. We cover all three cases: 2 roots, 1 root, no roots.

Video Tutorial: Quadratics: What Is a Quadratic Equation? In this video, students learn how to solve a quadratic equation using three different techniques. This includes solving by graphing, solving by using the quadratic formula, and solving by factoring. Includes quadratic equations in the context of real-world problems.

Video Tutorial: Quadratics: What Is a Quadratic Function? In this video, students learn about the characteristics of quadratic functions by looking at data, graphs, and equations. This video works with quadratic functions in standard form. A Video Transcript is available for this tutorial.
