Lesson 5
Squares and Circles
Lesson Narrative
In grade 6, students applied the distributive property to produce equivalent expressions. Here, students build on that, looking for regularity in repeated reasoning (MP8) to identify and factor trinomials that are perfect squares.
Then, students rewrite perfect square trinomials in factored form to find a circle’s center. This will lead to completing the square to identify a circle’s radius and center in upcoming activities.
