This task focuses on using geometric and algebraic methods to complete the square for expressions of the form x^2 + bx, equations in the forms x^2 + bx = c, x^2 + bx + c = 0, and ax^2 + bx + c = 0. Students will employ geometric tiles to visualize the process and then solve algebraically. Completing the square offers an alternative method for solving quadratic equations when factoring is not straightforward. This post-assessment activity in Algebra I Unit 10-5 prepares students for Test Prep questions 45-49 on page 584.
