Learners relate projectile motion to parametric equations as they identify the velocity and angle of a projectile. They create a picture on the navigator to visualize the word problem.

Pupils discuss projectile motion using a basketball player taking off for a slam dunk, a fly ball launched off a hitter's bat, and a snowboarder flying off a pipe as examples. The lesson is expanded by introducing the mathematical...

Learners model projectile motion algebraically and graphically; and make predictions based on the quadratic algebraic model.

Learners calculate the speed, motion and distance of a projectile. For this geometry lesson, students obtain measurements while calculating velocity. They graph their results and make predictions.

Focusing on this algebra instructional activity, learners relate quadratic equations in factored form to their solutions and their graph from a number of different aspects. In some problems, one starts with the original equation and...

Learners relate math to real life scenarios. In this geometry lesson, students launch a ball tracking each launch using a graph. They analyze their data for speed, angles and distance, trying to improve on each launch.

To the point and deeper thinking are both types of questions included in the worksheet. Begin the practice of solving quadratics and then finish with five questions asking quadratic and exponential application problems. 

Pupils review horizontal and vertical shifts of a parabola and how they effect a specific quadratic formula. They play a basketball review game in which they try to find the right quadratic equation for a given problem in order to earn...
