Students collect height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2™ data collection device. Using a quadratic equation they graph scatter plots, graph and interpret a quadratic function, apply the vertex form of a quadratic...

A bouncing ball serves as more than entertainment when learning to apply quadratic functions to real-world events. This is the second of a two-part lesson plan, which can also be accessed from the website. The instructions say to measure...

Students explore quadratic functions. In this function family worksheet, students examine the quadratic function and the family of functions. They identify the affects of the shape of the parabola and its position on the coordinate...

In this factoring polynomials worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 33 different multiple choice problems. First, they determine the equation that best represents a simplified form after factoring out the GCF. Then, students...

Students are asked to explain the relationship between f(s) and f (-x). They are asked to determine how the equation of f(x) differs from the equation of f(-x). Students determine the conditions when f(x) is the same as f(-x). They graph...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students learn about graphing and solving quadratic inequalities. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional videos...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Learn the anatomy of the graph of a quadratic function.

In this lesson, students will be able to identify parent functions of linear functions, absolute value functions, and quadratic functions. Students will be presented with functions and asked to graph them by first identifying the basic...

In this mini-lesson plan, students will learn about the world of functions. They will explore topics such as how to represent a function, conditions for a function, how to solve a function, types of functions, and various graphs of...

Penn State University offers a sample problem finding roots of a quadratic function.
