Quadratic Formula Differentiated Worksheets

A resource that has 3 levels of worksheets for solving quadratics using the formula. From the Red worksheet which includes quadratics in a standard order to Amber which starts to mix up the order and then to Green which incudes one that has no real solutions. Each worksheet has questions and answers and pupils match them up which helps them check their answers.

There are also some hint cards for each level of worksheet to help students identify the coefficients a, b and c.

After that there are 2 sections for extension which take the skill into slightly different areas. The first one is suitable for pupils who have completed the red/amber sheets whereas the 2nd extension requires pupils to have completed the green worksheet.

The powerpoint has a support grid which I usually print out in colour and put into a plastic pocket so pupils can use it like a whiteboard. It is based on the lesson powerpoint by alutwyche as I really liked the way he colour coordinated the coefficients to help pupils use the formula correctly. I also used his powerpoint as the input for the lesson.
