Quadratic Equation Booklet
Grade Level(s):  High School

Content Area:                                                                        Process Area:
Numbers and Operations                                           Problem-Solving
Algebra                                                           Reasoning and Proof
Geometry                                                                    Communication
Measurement                                                             Representation
Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability                    Connections

Common Core Standards:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.REI.B.4: Solve quadratic equations in one variable.
·         CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.REI.B.4.A: Use the method of completing the square to transform any quadratic equation in x into an equation of the form (x - p)2 = q that has the same solutions. Derive the quadratic formula from this form.
·         CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.REI.B.4.B: Solve quadratic equations by inspection (e.g., for x2 = 49), taking square roots, completing the square, the quadratic formula and factoring, as appropriate to the initial form of the equation. Recognize when the quadratic formula gives complex solutions and write them as a ± bi for real numbers a and b.

Targeted Needs of Student:
Solving quadratic equations, representing quadratic equations on a graph, using a hand-held booklet to reference y-intercepts, visually seeing and understanding slope and y-intercepts

Goal:
To provide students with a reference booklet to find the slope and y-intercepts of quadratic equations

Materials Needed:


1.      Bookets
2.      Cards with problems on them
3.      Glue
4.      Scissors
5.      Writing utensils



Explanation/Summary:
Students will first be given the template for the booklet. Then they will fold the book as directed on the website (with teacher guidance) and therefore create a booklet with blank coordinate planes. On each page of the book, there will be a blank plane and a corresponding blank page. The students will go from station to station where they will get a card to post on the blank pages. They will solve the card and then draw the graph that goes with the equation on the card glued.
