Making Connections Using Quadratic Functions

In this modeling data worksheet, students use quadratic functions to model data using three different methods.  This worksheet provides explanations and an example.  Additionally, students are given the steps to find the maximum or...

Linear, exponential, now it's time for quadratic patterns! Learners build on their skills of modeling patterns by analyzing situations with quadratic functions. The sixth module in the Algebra I series has pupils analyze multiple...

Model the flight of a ball. Small groups collect time data for how long it takes to toss a ball between two people. The teacher leads a discussion about projectile motion to get the class thinking about how to calculate the equation of...

Sometimes being different is an advantage. An engaging activity has scholars match cards with quadratic functions in various forms. Along the way, they learn about how each form highlights key features of quadratic functions.

Deepen understanding of quadratic functions with a well-designed lesson. By combining function notation, quadratic functions, and symmetry, learners make conclusions about different scenarios. They then critique others' methods and...

This is comprehensive lesson that considers many aspects of quadratic functions. It includes using factoring, completing the square and the use of the quadratic formula for finding the zeros of the function (including imaginary roots)....

After making a correction to the last problem in his previous video, Sal explains how to graph quadratic functions. Those who have a hard time with the concept of graphing algebraic functions will find Sal's instruction and easygoing...

This thorough review strives to cement understanding of quadratic functions, including how to predict the type of graph they will create, how they differ from linear functions, and how to find the zeros of the function. A listing of...

It's all in the family! Convert the formula for quadratic functions to 3 different forms to understand the quadratics family. The class graphs parabolas in vertex form, standard form, and factored form. They identify the vertex and...

Push an engaging resource to the limit. The interactive allows learners to find a limit on quadratic functions graphically. Using sliders, pupils set the x-value for the limit and to move values from the left and right toward the limit.
