Quadratic Functions
March 9 – March 13
What are we learning?
Daily Objective: SWBAT graph quadratic functions in intercept form.
TEKS/AP/Standards: 2A, 4A, 6B.
How will we learn it?
Learning Activities:
1. Warm Up – factoring and connecting intercept form to graphing the x-intercepts.
2. Notes Graphing Quadratic Functions in the form y = a(x – p)(x – q). Show how to get the
axis of symmetry, vertex, x-intercepts, minimum or maximum values, and the graph and
table.
3. Guided Practice – students will practice graphing quadratic equations from intercept
form. Then identifying the vertex, axis of symmetry, x-intercepts, and minimum or maximum
values.
4. Exit Ticket
How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly?
Assessment Methods: Exit Ticket.
Checks for Understanding: Teacher will facilitate and check answers to guided practice.
What do I need to be successful?
Materials: spiral notes, pencil, graph paper.
What do I need to do before next class?
Follow Up/HW: finish guided practice problems.
