[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students draw a scatter plot of data, find and draw the function that best fits that data, and make predictions from that information. Students watch...

Starting with y=x^2 going all the way to (in part 2)y=ax^2+bx+c, how do changes in the quadratic equation/function change the appearance of the parabola.

Purplemath gives several examples which clearly show the process of completing the square to find the maximum and minimum solutions to a quadratic equation.

Using data from the USA TODAY graphic,"Humidity makes air feel even hotter," students will explore quadratic and cubic functions to determine how well they model the relationship between air temperature and heat index. When the models...

This lesson provides basic instruction on the major concepts in algebra. Content includes a focus on fractions, units of conversion, complex numbers, quadratic equations, factorization and roots of polynomials, solving equations, systems...

Linear, quadratic and exponential functions have different graphs, equations, and characteristics. In this tutorial, compare the shape of linear, quadratic, and exponential curves on a graph, and explore how to identify a function as...

In this activity, students explore the linear and quadratic approximations of a logarithmic function and find properties the functions have in common.

This MathWorld site provides the quadratic formula, giving the roots of a quadratic equation, as well as an alternative form of the equation.

Uses the movie "October Sky" as an introduction to the study of free fall motion functions. Acts a summation activity to a quadratic unit in Algebra. Solve quadratic equations by graphing, factoring, and the quadratic formula.

An interactive quiz which provides students with a problem involving a polynomial function to be solved. Students input their solution and have the program evaluate it. Hints are available if the student needs them, and explanations are...

In this lesson, students will be re-introduced to the Four Step Problem - Solving Plan. The plan will be used as a 'checks and balance' tool for discovering the roots (solutions) of polynomial functions. Students will: *Explore the...

Find a quick, concise explanation of the quadratic equations. An example is given and clearly explained.

Students will explpre models and understand the difference between quadratic, exponential, and linear models in this lesson.

Explore the world of range in Algebra in this mini-lesson. Provides a definition and examples that help with understanding how to find the range of a function and domain. Includes solved examples and interactive questions with answers.

The resource discusses quadratic functions. Topics examined are parabolas, the vertex, the axis of symmetry, and standard form.

Practice some multiple-choice problems solving quadratics by completing the square.

This site offers an introduction to quadratic equations. Includes hyperlinked terms and examples.

This is an interactive activity to explore the second-degree polynomial function. It goes from the simplest case, y=x^2 to different translations.

Given verbal, graphical, or symbolic descriptions of the graph of y = ax^2 + c, the student will investigate, describe, and predict the effects on the graph when "a" is changed.

Hotmath provides 20 practice problems that relate to polynomial and rational functions. Each of the practice problems include a step-by-step guide for solving.

After defining a quadratic equation, this site shows you what the graphs of quadratics look like and how to use the graphs to determine the numbers of solutions to the quadratic. A brief explanation is included on how graphing...

Tips for factoring quadratics are given and demonstrated in several examples. The examples include quadratics that have both two and three terms.

Demonstrates how to solve quadratics using factoring (that is/the Zero-Product Property). Provides worked examples/and warnings about common mistakes.

Solve quadratic equations using the quadratic formula. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
