Application of Parabolas

Moving parabolas off of graph paper and into the real world is the task at hand in this detailed poster project. First, learners perform a cumulative activity identifying many characteristics of an assigned quadratic equation. Next, they...

Curve through the points. The resource, created as a review for the General Certificate of Secondary Education Math test, gives scholars the opportunity to refresh their quadratic graphing skills. Pupils fill out function tables to find...

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...

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...

Sal evaluates a word problem and then solves by graphing systems of equations. This problem would be great as a daily challenge, as concept review, or as a homework assignment. Show this video only after the students have had a chance to...

Show your class how to use properties to make graphing easier with a resource that explores the graphs of quadratics. Using tables to determine the points to graph, pupils discover the symmetry of parabolas in order to short cut the...

Challenge: Sketch a graph of a quadratic function without making a table of values. High schoolers learn how different parameters affect the graph of a quadratic function. The problem video focuses on dilations of quadratic graphs.

Help learners recognize the characteristics of a quadratic graph and how changes affect them. An informative video uses a graphing calculator in order to find out what happens when the leading coefficient of a quadratic changes. The...

So, exactly, what does it look like? The easily usable graphing calculator allows pupils to visualize the graph of equations and inequalities. The interactive supports any algebraic graph needed for high school mathematics and then some.

What does a square have to do with a quadratic function? Young scholars learn that completing an algebraic square is helpful when graphing the quadratic functions. The video instructor demonstrates rewriting quadratic functions in vertex...
