The Wandering Variable

Students will solve and answer real-world systems of equation questions as they walk around the room as if they are in an art gallery.

This is a great experiment/activity in which see a visual aspect of real life quadratic equations. Students love to launch rockets and watch what happens. Once completed and discussed there is a worksheet to follow which they learn terminology such as vertex, the axis of symmetry, and maximum while using their TI-calculator.

This Homework worksheet goes along with Matching Inequality Activity. You can use it on its own or with the activity. It is great practice no matter what. You can use both worksheets as practice for one child or you can give half the class one and the other half the other.
