Quadratic functions activities

"Miss, why are we cutting and pasting? Do you think we're babies?" Then within a few weeks, my consumer math seniors would be pretty into building their interactive notebooks. And not one student lost a notebook over the years. I believe this ownership was built along with the cutting, coloring, arranging and pasting. Their notebooks became something my students didn't want to lose because of all the work they represented. Though the cutting and pasting does take more time than typical math…

The quadratic equations unit was my absolute favorite unit to teach (jump to tip #5 if you want to know why)! Here are 5 tips and activities for teaching quadratic functions to students who struggle with math and students with IEPs in math.

Quadratic equations can be such a cool topic to teach and practice if you have the right tools. I’ve rounded up some of the best activities and games to help your students review quadratics. We've got activities that include real world connections, graphi

Students will make connections between the graphs of quadratic functions and changing forms of quadratic functions.

This activity is designed for students to practice graph transformations. This activity has three core quadratic graphs: f(x), g(x), h(x). Students must match transformations such as y=f(x)+3, y=2f(x+1), y=g(2x), etc. with their graphs. Students cut out the shapes in the printout and put them together by matching questions and answers on corresponding sides to create the shape in the given solution. There are 30 questions to match in total to complete the puzzle.

My grade 10 academic math class is filled with great kids. For the last week or so we have been exploring quadratics in vertex and factored form, with the help of Desmos. My students are pretty solid at going between equations and their graphs. On Friday, about half of my class was away on a history field trip. We finished some questions from the previous day but I didn't want to start anything new - I wanted to do something fun! At TMC13, Sam Shah organized a Rational Headbanz game for the…
