Bell-Ringer or Exit Slip Choose One to Complete • List the steps you would take to graph the equation y = ax2 + bx + c. • Draw the graph of y = 2x2 + 4x – 6, and label the important pieces of the graph. • Create your own quadratic equation and graph. (One idea of formative assessment)
Sternberg Project (used in place of traditional mid-chapter quiz)
Think-Tac-ToeChoose 3 tasks (either diagonally or horizontally) to complete. Mark the three you choose with X’s or O’s. You may use the bottom of this page or the back to complete your work.
Self-Selected Groups (Choices) (Used to introduce graphing inequalities in two variables)
