We know when students are just beginning their study
of algebra, the basic concepts can be difficult to grasp. These activities
are written for teachers to use in their basic algebra classes.
|
1. Linear and Quadratic
See how these are different in both a table and graph.
|
|
|
2. Graph y=ax2
Alter the equation and watch the graph reflect the changes.
|
|
|
3. Graph y=ax^2+bx+c
Same as before! Change the equation and the graph is revised.
|
|
|
4. Discriminant
Is the Discriminant odd, even, or zero?
|
|
|
5. Find the Roots
How many roots can you find…zero, one, or more than one?
|
|
|
6. Solve x2=a
Discover the solutions using algebra and graphing. Also, learn
how CAS can help.
|
|
|
7. Completing the Square
Let your ClassPad help you!
|
|
|
8. The Factored Form
Make use of the rFactor() function to find the factored form.
|
|
|
9. Find the Vertex
First, graph the equation, and then use the Analysis/G-Solve
menus to find the vertex.
|
|
|
10. The Vertex Form for OS ver2.0
Verify will help you find the vertex form for these equations.
