About Course

Learn how to solve quadratic equations such as x² + 7x + 12 = 0 by factorising, with Remi the owl as your guide. You will practise the Foundation-tier method (x² + bx + c = 0), difference of two squares and rearranging, then the Higher-tier method for equations like 2x² + 7x + 3 = 0, with worked examples, common mistakes and an exam-style quiz.
