Description
Discriminants & Roots of Quadratic Equations - Practice / Review:
This sorting activity helps your students practice finding and interpreting the discriminant of a quadratic equation.
Here is what's included:
- 3 quick- fold pockets to hold sorted cards
- 30 basic cards (mix of graphs, word phrases, and equations)
- 10 optional add-on cards with equations that are not already set equal to zero
- 3 "answer cards" that list which cards should be in each pocket
- optional "sorting mat" to offer an alternative format (great for group work or learning stations)
Students will cut out and sort the cards into the correct pocket (one real root, two real roots, or no real roots). The pockets fit well on an interactive notebook page.
Then, hand out the answer/check cards. After students have verified that their cards were sorted correctly, the answer cards can be tucked into the back of each pocket. Students can re-do the activity as a review at any time.

Great for exploring the discriminant
Met expectations
Great value
This was a great exploration and practice activity!
Thank you for this great resource. It was exactly what I needed for my students.
This was a great resource for my Algebra II students.
This was a fun way for my class to work together to sort different representations of the discriminant. I like that they could either put it in their INB or just use it as an activity (we sorted the cards on a giant chart on the board).
My students always enjoy card sort activities. They had great discussions with their groups while completing this card sort.
I used this resource during my math rotations/stations and the students enjoyed matching the cards.
The discriminant can be a bit confusing for students at first, so I always like to give them a fun way to practice their skills. This resource fits the bill. I see a big gain in confidence after this activity. Thank you for creating such a valuable resource.
AWESOME resource on zeros/solutions/discriminant. The different representations really challenged my students and stretched their brains. Thank you for the amazing resource. I will be using this again:)
