Discriminant Discovery Activity
Students will use online graphing software, Desmos Graphing Calculator, to discover what the discriminant tells us about a given quadratic equation. This activity allows students to conclude that the discriminant will provide information about how many x-intercepts (solutions) the quadratic equation has by working through and graphing various quadratic functions.
This is a great way for students to come up with why the discriminant is so useful without simply telling them the rule. Common core
