CHOICE BOARD--TIC-TAC-TOE STYLE (You may choose one extra for bonus points.)

Write a biography of a mathematician from the present, or past, that contributed to the use of quadratic equations. Provide their birthplace, time period, specific contributions, interesting facts about their education and family. What other famous mathematicians did they know, if any? Name three other things going on in the world during this time period. List two sources. / Find 3 pictures of parabolas in your world. Tell where the picture is located. Emphasize the parabola by coloring it a specific color to make it stand out. Tell if the "a" is positive or negative. How do you know? Annotate the vertex, how the axis of symmetry, and find two reflective points. / Summarize the most important information about quadratic functions in written form or as a song.
Or
Make 5 matching cards one set will be quadratic equations; their pair mates will be the graphed parabolas. Provide a letter on the graphs, numbers on the equations. Provide an answer key. Neat. Legible.
Make a poster of the vocabulary terms about quadratic functions. / WILD CARD
or
Correct an assignment or quiz. / Share different methods of solving quadratic expressions. Give one example of each. Poster style.
Or
Locate three websites (powerpoints, youtube videos, etc) that give good information about the unit on quadratics. Briefly summarize your choices and tell why you chose each site. Be specific.
Show an illustration of a parabola in the real world against the backdrop of a graph. Analyze and explain the data in the graph. (Example: a tennis ball being bounced caught in a still picture.) / Journal Reflection:
What was the easiest assignment and why?
What was the most difficult assignment and why?
Submit the assignments for evidence. / Write a poem or act out a play conveying the main ideas about quadratic functions.
Or correct an assignment or quiz.
