| + | • 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: |
