11/28/2007 Algebra 1 - Chapter 5 Review (Test Friday)

Today we will review for Friday's Chapter 5 Test. Students will complete the worksheet in class today.

11/28/2007 Algebra 2 - Quadratic Equations

We are turning our focus to quadratic equations in this Chapter. They have graphs that are the above shape, a parabola and equations that are of the form y=ax^2+bx+c. Our objectives are to:

1) Find the vertex of the graph of a quadratic function
2) Graph a quadratic function in standard form, vertex form or intercept form
3) Use the FOIL method to write a quadratic function in standard form

I did some examples on the board for the class, then they worked on a worksheet, they turned in during class, and finally the students worked on the graded assignment. You can look at the website we used in class to demonstrate here.
