Objective: SWBAT graph quadratics in standard form and identify axis of symmetry, xintercepts, y-intercept, vertex, minimum or maximum.
Activities: Warm Up: Solve by factoring.
Notes: Graphing Quadratics from Standard form. Go over vocabulary such as axis of
symmetery, vertex, minimum and maximum, x-intercepts and y-intercept. Demonstrate axis
of symmetry formula and how to factor to go from standard form to intercept form.
Guided Practice: Students practice problems with a partner or group on graphing quadratics
from standard form and identifying axis of symmetry, x-intercepts, y-intercept, minimum or
maximum, and vertex.
Independent Practice: Handout 4.1 # 1 – 10.
Assessment: Exit Ticket
