Network+Tree

Rationale:
I would use this strategy because I want my students to understand relationships of sub concepts to the major concept visually.

Course:
Algebra – Quadratic Formula This strategy is implemented with ninth and tenth grade Algebra students who need to visually understand the quadratic formula and its roots.

Diverse learners:
This strategy would mostly benefit the visual learner because they will see the roots and how they relate to the quadratic formula.

Procedure:
1. The teacher will have taught the quadratic formula. 2. The teacher will have taught the discriminant. 3. The students will fill out a Network tree for the quadratic formula 4. The students then will communicate how the roots are related to the formula.

Potential Issues:
A problem that might occur is that student may need to use their notes to be able to fill out the Network tree. This could be more of a positive than a negative.
