TI Explorations books has a great activity for TI InterActive! in graphing parabolas in vertex form. What if you don't have TI InterActive! or a lab to take your students, but you do have a class set of TI-83 or TI-84. This activity...

Students use their knowledge of the vertex form of a quadratic equation to graph parabolas, given a specific move to make.

Given the equation of a quadratic function in vertex form, students learn to identify the vertex of a parabola from the equation, and then graph the parabola.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This lesson covers vertex, intercept, and standard forms. Here you'll explore the different forms of the quadratic equation.

This comprehensive study guide highlights the main terms and formulas needed to review graphing quadratic equations. Examples are included.

In this activity, students investigate the standard form of the quadratic function, y = ax^2 + bx + c. They investigate the changes on the graph of a quadratic equation that result from changes in A, B, and C. They also locate the vertex...

In this activity, students explore the standard form of a quadratic equation, y = ax 2 + bx + c. They explore how the x-intercepts (zeros), y-intercept, and vertex are related to the graph of the standard form of a quadratic function.

This activity will help students work with the standard form of a parabola y = a(x - h)^2 + k by writing an equation given the vertex and a point.

In this lesson, students will learn how to find an equation of a quadratic function when given the vertex of the parabola, and how to find the equation that defines a quadratic function when given three points.

Jeopardy type of a game will ask students to practice working with the three forms of quadratic equations. Can they: identify the form of equation, find the vertex, find the x-intercepts, identify what the graph looks like?

In this experiment, students collect the height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2. This activity investigates the values of height, time, and the coefficient A in the quadratic equation, which describes the behavior of...

[Free Registration/Login Required] Use this interactive flipchart to allow students to explore quadratic functions in algebra.

Determine the height of a bouncing ball by creating a quadratic function for each.

In this adventure , students will make a Height-Time plot of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2. They graph height as a function of time. They identify and understand the vertex form of a quadratic equation that is generated to describe the...

In this activity, students' will record the motion of a bouncing ball using a motion detector. They will then model a bounce using both the general and vertex forms of the parabola.

1. Students will be able to review how to find the vertex of a parabola using a graphing calculator. 2. Students will be able to observe the relationship between the values of a, h and k and the graph of a parabola in vertex form. 3....

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