This WebQuest helps introduce students to quadratics functions and their graphs. It provides a variety of resources and explanations for quadratic equations through a well thought out webquest.
In the Classroom
After introducing quadratic equations to students, have them participate in this webquest to deepen their understanding. Share the webquest on your interactive whiteboard or projector. Have students work in cooperative learning groups to complete the quest, or on individual laptops. Have students digitally using Simplenote, <a href="/single.cfm?id=17646"> reviewed here</a>; tell students to be sure to save the URL to share their notes and questions with you and their peers. Simplenote updates across all devices. Follow up the webquest with a discussion to synthesize information. Create a class wiki about how to solve quadratic equations. Not comfortable with wikis? Check out the <a href="/content/wiki/">TeachersFirst’s Wiki Walk-Through</a>.
