Middle and High School Algebra Parabola Self-PortraitsGrades 6 - 12 This creative activity is intended to introduce students to quadratic equations. It is not necessary that they know how to graph them, or any of the terminology. Of course, an obvious extension would be to introduce the vocabulary: domain, range, maxima, minima, intervals of increase/decrease, vertex, point, reflection point, theaxis of symmetry, zeros, y-intercept.  Creating EquationsReasoning with Equations and InequalitiesInt

Using Graphs to Relate Quantities Project

This is a project in which students are given four graphs with a combination of increasing, decreasing, and constant lines. They choose the variables on the x- and y-axes and then create a story that matches the variables and the graph. It can easily be differentiated by choosing certain graph(s) for each student to work on. You could also choose the variables for your students to relate to each other. It is fun and engaging project. Please feel free to contact me if you would like an editable v

In this project, students learn how to use polynomial function to model roller coaster rides. In this first part, they are given some polynomial functions to find the relative maximum/minimum, increasing/decreasing intervals, x- and y-intercepts, etc. They will explore the average rate of change. In the second part of the project, students are asked design their own roller coaster given some basic criteria. Students should use graphing devices/computer applications to complete this project.

Neighborhood Tours and Piecewise Functions

In this project students will take us on a tour of their neighborhoods. They'll make at least three stops, take pictures, and explain why they chose those locations. After that, they will create a graph of their journey that compares time in minutes to how many blocks they are from home. They will have to use average rate of change over sub-domains to come up with their piecewise graph. After all of that, they will analyze their journey and explain what the domain, range, intervals of increase

Slope Poster (slope, converting to slope-intercept form, point-slope form and graphing equations) The students are given two ordered pairs, and must write the slope formula in addition to finding and simplifying the slope. After that they need to put the information into point-slope form, and then convert that to slope intercept by distributing and combining like terms. The final step is to graph the line using any of the equations they want to. There is a rubric attached to score it out of 30
