Will he make it? After watching a video of part of a basketball shot, groups create their own videos. Teams record a video of shooting a ball at a hoop and edit it to show only a portion of the shot. Group members determine the equation of the parabola and trade videos to determine algebraically whether other teams made the shot or not.
