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

Factoring Trinomials Scavenger Hunt
Students will travel around the room to find the solutions to factoring various trinomials. Good way to review before a quiz or just to reinforce factoring practice. More fun for students that sitting in their seats just doing a worksheet with factoring.
