Teaching Module:
This unit aims to deepen students' understanding of algebraic concepts and their applications.
Students will explore topics like quadratic equations, arithmetic and geometric progressions,
coordinate geometry, and more. By the end of this unit, students should be able to:
Solve quadratic equations using various methods.
Apply the concept of arithmetic and geometric progressions to solve real-world
problems.
Understand and apply coordinate geometry to analyze geometric shapes and their
properties.
Use algebraic techniques to model and solve real-world problems.

quadratic formula.
Apply quadratic equations to real-world problems.
Arithmetic and Geometric Progressions:
Define arithmetic and geometric progressions.
Find the nth term of an arithmetic and geometric progression.
Find the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic and geometric progression.
Apply arithmetic and geometric progressions to solve real-world problems.
Coordinate Geometry:
Understand the Cartesian coordinate system.
Plot points on a Cartesian plane.
Find the distance between two points.
Find the section formula.
Find the equation of a line.
