The Root is Right

For Teachers 9th - 11th
Pupils find the roots of an equation. In this roots instructional activity, students define the bisection method algorithm used to find the roots of an equation. They identify the margin of error in this process.

Approximating Roots of Polynomials

For Teachers 7th - 9th
Students use the bisection method to approximate the roots of a polynomial. They evaluate functions for a given point, graph linear and quadratic functions, and recognize the elements of polynomial expressions.
