This comprehensive lesson plan reviews solving and graphing quadratic functions and functions of higher degree.  Using the vertex form of a quadratic functions, one finds the vertex, minimum or maximum, and axis of symmetry. A few...

Even money states that the resource is good to use. Scholars manipulate an interactive to adjust the portion of a graph to the left of the y-axis. The interactive allows them to switch between even and odd modes that show the right side...

Determine critical points in the flight of a soccer ball. Pupils use an interactive resource to find the vertex and x-intercepts of the graph of the trajectory of a soccer ball after being kicked. Scholars investigate the trajectory...

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...

Students analyze a symmetrical stamp design with an equal balance of light and dark to create a pattern in succession. In this shape design activity, students review concepts of sign, symbol and language across cultures. Students analyze...

Everything you could possibly want to know about quadratic equations, all in one resource. Instructors demonstrate how to translate between different forms of quadratics (equation, table of values, graph, verbal description) and finding...

Students work in small groups to draw the trajectory of several scenarios. They label parts of the resulting parabola (vertex, axis of symmetry). Students complete four stations to explore quadratic functions.

Put together the pieces and model a parabola. Learners work through several examples to develop an understanding of a parabola graphically and algebraically. 

In this solving quadratics activity, 10th graders write radicals in the simplest form. They solve quadratics by factoring, completing the square, and through the use of the quadratic formula. Students determine the vertex and axis of...

Young scholars, using a specified website, plot quadratic curves to distinguish how different values of a affect a graph. They investigate how the constant and the absolute value of a function affects the graph. They identify the...

In this parabola worksheet, learners define a parabola and all of its parts. They then solve 4 problems in which they change an equation into vertex form, identify the significant features, and graph it. Finally, students solve 3...

The 17th installment of a 21-part module investigates symmetry in the coordinate plane. After plotting several examples, scholars develop a rule for the coordinates of a point after reflecting over the x-axis, the y-axis, or both.

Everything one wanted to know about parabolas in one place. Pupils work 27 problems as a review of the unit on quadratics. Problems range from determining key features of the function and using that information to graph the parabola, to...
