Investigation 3

The quiz moved to January 23rd to allow for more preparation.  The post-quiz classwork/homework was the handout about factoring patterns.  This will help prepare you for the next investigation.

Investigation 3 is about going back and forth between standard form and factored form for quadratic equations.  Investigation 2 showed us why that form was useful, now we will practice getting to it.  We will spend three days on the twelve questions in this investigation.  Each question has several parts so you do not want to get behind.  If you do not finish four questions each day, finish them for homework. You may use the pdf of the textbook which is downloadable here.

Continuing with Functions and Quadratics

We will review what we have learned so far by working on some of the "On Your Own" problems. We will do the problems listed below over the course of a few days.  Following the review, we will have a quiz - next Thursday, January 22nd.

On Your Own, starting on page 345:
  Applications 1-4, 6-10
  Connections: 16
  Reflect: 25, 27-29
  Review: 44, 47

Quadratics from the Course 2 books

We are trying out new books, using Unit 5 in the Course 2 book.  This is a study of quadratic functions through investigations.  The pdf of the unit is here.
