Quadratic Function Lesson Plans
Find teacher approved Quadratic Function lesson plan ideas and activities
Students convert the formula for quadratic functions to 3 different forms. In this algebra lesson, students graph parabolas in vertex form, standard form and factored form. They identify the vertex and asymptote and x-intercepts.
Students solve quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, students graph a parabola using the vertex and intercepts. They analyze graphs and write an equation to go along with it.
Students engage in a study of the quadratic function while putting it in the vertex form. They solve a variety of problems with the help of a graphing calculator. The exercises are specifically designed for the Texas Instruments calculator.
Eleventh graders investigate inverse functions. In this Algebra II lesson, 11th graders use their prior knowledge of linear, exponential,and quadratic functions to create a graph of an equation they have never seen before.
Students identify the concavity of a quadratic function. In this algebra lesson, students graph quadratic functions by hand. They identify the real and complex zeros and whether the parabola opens up or down.
Students identify the maxima and minima of quadratic functions. After a teacher explanation and demonstration of quadratic functions, students solve quadratic equations and graph the solution to find the maxima and minima of each function. They compare graphing to solve the equation to completing the square. Independently, students solve problems.
Students graph quadratic functions. In this algebra lesson, students identify the vertex and intercepts of a quadratic equations and graph the parabola. They find the axis of symmetry and make a table to find the values of the parabola.
Eleventh graders investigate quadratic functions. In this Algebra II lesson, 11th graders explore the vertex form of the parabola and discover how the vertex, direction, and width of the parabola can be determined by the parameters of the equation. The lesson requires the use of a graphing calculator
Learners identify function families. In this function family lesson plan, students use a CBR and a bouncing ball to generate quadratic functions. They graph parabolas and identify the values of the equation.
Students solve quadratic functions and rewrite it in different forms. In this algebra lesson, students write quadratics in standard, intercept and vertex form. They identify different properties of a prabola, including the vertex and axis of symmetry.
