Quadratics are Everywhere - A Project
In this project students will reflect on those places in their everyday life where they see quadratic relationships. Using these examples, we will reflect on the similarity and differences and model our findings using the mathematical principles studied in class.
This assignment will consist of 3 different assessments:
Overall Expectations: 1. Expand and simplify quadratic expressions, solve quadratic equations, and relate the roots of a quadratic equation to the corresponding graph; 2. Demonstrate an understanding of functions, and make connections between the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of quadratic functions; 3. Solve problems involving quadratic functions, including problems arising from real-world applications. |
Example: Can Rainbows be modeled by Quadratics?
