New ReviewFind all the Algebra 1 content in one location. A helpful eBook contains the content typically found in an Algebra 1 course. Concepts range from solving and graphing linear equations to solving and graphing quadratic equations. Pupils...

New ReviewFind quadratics in the world. Learners select ways to compare and contrast linear and quadratic functions and how to demonstrate knowledge of parabolas in the world. Teachers assign a third task challenging individuals to find equations...

New ReviewReflect upon the graphs of quadratic functions. Given a quadratic function to graph, pupils determine whether the graph after a horizontal and vertical reflection is still a function. The final two questions ask scholars to describe a...

Quadratics only have three terms, but each one is fairly important. Scholars use an interactive to explore how each coefficient affects the graph of a quadratic function. They also see how changes to the vertex form and how changes to...

Develop a sketchy approach to solving quadratic inequalities! Using a sketch of a graph, the presenter shows a way to solve quadratic inequalities. Pupils then practice that method to solve their own quadratic inequalities and apply the...

Curve through the points. The resource, created as a review for the General Certificate of Secondary Education Math test, gives scholars the opportunity to refresh their quadratic graphing skills. Pupils fill out function tables to find...

Communication is the key. A presentation provides 25 sample items for Claim 3, Communicating Reasoning, for the Smarter Balanced High School Math assessment. Items require pupils to answer the question and provide logical reasoning to...

What does a square have to do with a quadratic function? Young scholars learn that completing an algebraic square is helpful when graphing the quadratic functions. The video instructor demonstrates rewriting quadratic functions in vertex...

Here's a window into graphing calculators. Scholars use a graphing calculator to plot a quadratic function. They then adjust the window to make the graph look like that of a linear function and must recreate given graphs.

One, two, or zero solutions—quadratic systems have a variety of solution possibilities. Using the parent function and the standard form of the function, learners describe the values of a, b, and c that produce each solution type. They...

There is power in spreadsheet formulas and learners use this power to model quadratic data. Given a scatterplot of a parabola, pupils create formulas in a spreadsheet to populate the data. The formulas they use lead to an understanding...

Sketch the graph of quadratic functions using key features as a guide. After a brief discussion about the key features of a parabola, the video instructor completes several examples showing how to graph a quadratic function. Each...

One of the many methods of solving quadratic equations is graphing. A video lesson first demonstrates graphing a quadratic function using an input-output table. After graphing the parabola, the instructor makes the connection between the...

Map the input to the output and see what pupils create. The video lesson provides an introduction to graphing quadratic functions using an input-output table. The instructor shows each step of the calculations when evaluating the function.

Tackle a common misconception using a performance task. Dividing by a variable to eliminate a variable may seem like a good idea, but simplifying the variable eliminates solutions as well. Learners develop algebraic and graphical support...

Read between the curves ... quadratic curves! Young scholars analyze the graphs of two quadratic functions by writing their own function whose outputs are between the two given. They then consider intersecting quadratic functions and...

Basketball and math go hand in hand, even before one considers creating statistics. Viewers see a basketball player attempt multiple shots, but they do not see whether it goes in. They solve for which shots earned points as well as which...

Launch your classes into a modeling lesson. Young scholars watch angry bird trajectories and make predictions based on their knowledge of quadratic functions. The lesson includes a series of questioning strategies to lead learners to the...

Here's the solution to your lack of assessment questions. Scholars answer a set of questions, all assessing the Common Core math standard A-REI.10. They graph equations on coordinate planes and interpret graphs as the sets of all...

Linear x Linear = Quadratic? Given two linear expressions, scholars determine the product algebraically. They then graph the function defined by the quadratic expression and identify key features. Ideally, they'll see the relationships...

Be a winner; use the resource. Given quadratic functions for the heights of water balloons tossed by three homerooms, scholars determine the winner. Of course, this will first require defining what constitutes winning. Longest horizontal...

Toothpicks can be a great addition to math class. A simple activity has groups create as many different rectangular enclosures as possible from 20 toothpicks. Determining the area and graphing the results shows them that the situation is...

How does inertia affect an object's trajectory? After watching a video on safety belt use, pupils discuss the notions of inertia. Using their knowledge, individuals try to drop a ball on a target while running, and classmates observe the...

Fly through graphing functions with the Function Flyer. Young mathematicians use an interactive to graph different types of functions. A set of exploration questions has users investigate patterns in functions.
