Westside High School Lesson Plan
Teacher Name: Garrett, Shannen Unit Name and #: Unit 5:
Quadratic Functions
Course: Algebra II B MOD Dates: May 4 – May 8, 2015
What are we learning?
Daily Objective:
 Students will identify the characteristics of a quadratic function from its graph.

Students will graph quadratic equations on the coordinate plane
 Students will define and identify the roots of a quadratic equation.
TEKS/AP/Standards:
Ⓡ
ALGII.6A Determine the reasonable domain and range values of a quadratic function represented by a table of values, graph, function rule, or a contextual situation , as well as interpret and determine the reasonableness of solutions to quadratic equations and inequalities.
Ⓡ
ALGII.6B Relate representations of quadratic functions in algebraic, tabular, graphical, and verbal forms.
Ⓡ
ALGII.7A Use characteristics of the quadratic parent function to sketch the related graphs and connect between the f( x ) = a x 2 + b x + c and the f( x ) = a ( x – h ) 2 + k symbolic representations of quadratic functions, and write the quadratic function in f(x) = ax 2 + bx + c or f(x) = a (x – h) 2 + k given the graph of the function .
Ⓢ
ALGII.7B Use the parent function to investigate, describe, and predict the effects of changes in a, h, and k on the graphs of y = a( x – h) 2 + k form of a function and what those changes in symbolic representation may mean in a real world applications
How will we learn it?
Learning Activities:

Introduction to Quadratic Equations Notes and PPT
 Identifying Quadratic Features worksheet
How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly?
Assessment Methods:
Identifying Quadratic Functions Worksheet
Checks for Understanding:

Check student understanding through assessment of their note-taking skills

Cold-calling to answer questions

Teacher observation
What do I need to be successful?
Materials: Pencils, Worksheets, Calculators, computers, Student Guided Notes, PPT
What do I need to before next class?
