ILAW Lesson Plan Sample — Grade 9 Mathematics — Quadratic Equations

LESSON PLAN — ILAW FORMAT · Mathematics 9
Lesson Title	Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
Learning Competency	M9AL-Ia-1: Illustrates quadratic equations and solves them by factoring.
Learning Objectives	1. Define quadratic equations and identify their standard form. 2. Solve quadratic equations using factoring. 3. Apply quadratic equations to real-world problems.
Learner Context	Grade 9 learners have prior knowledge of factoring polynomials. Strength: most are comfortable with algebra. Challenge: anxiety about word problems. Several learners need visual representations.
Pre-Lesson	Review factoring of polynomials with a 5-minute warm-up activity. Ask: What is the difference between a linear and quadratic equation?
Flow	1. Present standard form of quadratic equations with examples (10 min). 2. Model solving by factoring step-by-step (10 min). 3. Pair practice: solve 3 equations and compare answers (10 min). 4. Present a real-world problem: projectile motion (5 min). 5. Individual seatwork: solve 2 equations (5 min).
Assessment	Written seatwork — 3 items scored using a 5-point rubric. Exit ticket: 'One thing I learned, one thing I am still confused about.' Accommodation: provide formula sheet for struggling learners.
Ways Forward	Extended Learning: Find one real-life situation where a quadratic equation is used — bring a short explanation next session. Teacher Reflection: Note which step in factoring caused the most errors.
AI Declaration	AI was used to generate the initial draft of this lesson plan. The teacher reviewed, verified, and adapted the content to suit the needs of the learners.
