• Pupils will be encouraged to use their own informal methods before being
 +
introduced to formal solution procedures.
 +
• We will revisit the concept (meaning) of the solution of an equation. The number
 +
of solutions of an equation (no solution; 1 solution, 2 solutions or many solutions)
 +
will be dripped.
 +
• Out of this we will extract the notion of a quadratic equation, so as to distinguish it
 +
from linear and other equations.

-A gardener wants his field to have an interesting geometrical appearance. So, he decides upon the following rules for his flowerbeds:
 +
1.They must all be rectangular.
 +
2.Their perimeters and areas must be the same.
 +
 +
a) How many different flowerbeds can the gardener make if one of the sides is
 +
3 units less than the other side as shown in the diagram below:
