Integrated Math II · Week 7 · Quadratic Expressions, Equations, and Functions
Many Forms, One Function
Standard, vertex, and factored forms show the same function; people show different sides too.
- Students will
- Students rewrite a quadratic in standard, factored, and vertex form and identify what each form reveals.
- SEL skill
- Explain why a partner's preferred form of a function is useful
- What it looks like
- Students practice perspective-taking by explaining why a partner's preferred form is useful.
- Content focus
- Standard, factored, and vertex forms
- Format
- Small group problem-solving
Social awareness
Social awareness means understanding the perspectives of other people and caring about them, including people from different backgrounds. More social awareness activities
