This 37-page differentiated multi-day quadratic modeling lab engages students in building a quadratic function from the product of two linear relationships. Students model revenue (and profit at advanced levels), determine maximum values, interpret intercepts, and evaluate reasonableness within context. Rather than simply solving a quadratic, students construct — developing deep structural understanding of why multiplying two linear functions produces a quadratic model. 3 Differentiated Levels
