Description

Connect math to real life in this Graphing Quadratic Functions Project. This project based learning activity is perfect for students to write a quadratic equation, graph the quadratic, and analyze characteristics of the graph. Plus, they have fun taking a selfie with a parabola in the real world!!!

Parabola Selfie Project: Students will analyze a parabola in the real world by demonstrating their knowledge and understanding of the following skills:

• Find a parabola in the real world and identify it’s dimensions

• Graph the parabola and determine the following characteristics of the function:

• Domain and Range

• Minima/Maxima

• Intervals of Increase and Decrease

• Vertex

• A point and a reflection point

• Axis of Symmetry

• Zeros

• Y-Intercept

• Write an equation (vertex form and standard form) that represents the parabola

Included:

- Student handout with instructions - 100% Editable

- A VIDEO is included on how to use Desmos for this activity

- Rubric - 100% editable

Check out the preview to see what skills are covered and more details of this fun project!!!
