Abstract
With the recent pedagogical wave, there has been a transition towards student-centered learning methodologies within mathematics classrooms. Recognizing the evolving landscape of education and the need for personalized learning experiences, a departure from traditional teacher-centered instruction is imperative to prioritize active student engagement through inquiry-based learning and collaborative problem-solving. Empowering students through these approaches fosters deeper conceptual understanding, enhances critical thinking skills, and promotes mathematical fluency. This curriculum project presents four sequential Algebra I lessons exploring quadratic expressions using the 5E Instructional Model. This model, rooted in constructivist principles, provides a structured framework intended to address the new pedagogical wave. The 5E Model can promote a stronger foundation for student knowledge in quadratic expressions and lead to stronger conceptual understanding in Algebra II. Answer keys for all student materials are provided in the appendix.
