Quadratic Equation Project
Directions:
Choose any one of the projects to complete and present to the class.
The project must contain something directly related to quadratic equations and
must include all 5 ways of solving them. Be creative!
Write all of your group members’ names on the back of your project, and be
ready to present it to the class as a group. Yes, this means each person is to
present something!
You may work alone, and groups can have no more than four students. You must
have a hard copy of your project to hand in, such as a poster or a story book.

You MUST show all FIVE (5) methods of solving quadratics with either
option.
1) You may create a story about quadratic equations.
2) You may create a song, rap, play or poem about quadratic equations.
3) You may create a drawing/picture involving quadratic equations.
