Unit VIII: Polynomials and Quadratics
Activities- 1 Algebra Quiz on Solving Quadratic Equations
This activity allows the user to practice solving linear and quadratic algebraic equations. eTools- 2 Algebra Tiles
An online version of the Algebra Tiles physical manipulative. An obvious advantage of this manipulative is the capability of illustrating a variable as an unknown quantity with multiple values. By manipulating the slider bars beneath the x and y buttons, you can vary the size of the variable representations. - 3 Factor Tree
With this virtual manipulative, students can explore the prime factorization of numbers and see how to use the factorization of a pair of numbers to find their Greatest Common Factor (GCF) and their Least Common Multiple (LCM). - 4 Grapher
This tools allows the user to: graph a function, trace a point along the graph, dynamically vary function parameters, change the range of values displayed in the graph, graph multiple functions, restrict the domain of a function, and zoom in on a region of the graph. - 5 Proof for Completing the Square (GT)
This tool helps the user model act of "completing the square." But many students do not understand why this process works. This interactive geometric proof shows a proof for completing the square.... Games- 6 Factoring Trinomials Game
This is an online Quia quiz that allows students to practice factoring trinomials and “win” money. - 7 Slidermath game
Match a quadratic polynomial as a product of two linear factors. Graphing Calculator- 8 Steps to Factor
This tool will enable the user to factor. It will be especially helpful when working on multiple choice problems. - 9 Steps to Find the Zeros, Maximum/ Minimum. and the Number of Solutions of a Quadratic Equation
This tool will enable the user to find the zeros and the vertex (maximum.minimum) of the quadratic equation. This tool can also be used to find the number of solutions of the quadratic by looking at the graph and how many times it crosses the x axis (0,1,or 2).
