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 representations of quadratic functions and compare the behavior of quadratic functions with both linear and exponential functions.
