The Algebra Game - Quadratic Equations: Basic Card Set

Grades 8-12.

Innovative teaching tool features an improved design and updated teaching instructions aligned to the Common Core State Standards. Students will benefit from working collaboratively to form a multitude of algebraic equations. The cards display specific information that, when used with other card sets [(TB26777), (TB26779), and (TB26780)], support the notation of an equation. The quadratic formula is demystified as students piece together and match up the various parts - vertex, axis of symmetry, discriminant, and quadratic formula. The goal is to match these cards to the factor, root, point pair, and graph cards to discover the connections to the quadratic equation. Cards have a sampling of non-function parabolas and include several parabolas that are in translated positions. Makes pattern recognition and relational thinking easy to teach. For up to 12 students working together. Includes a comprehensive teacher’s guide featuring lessons and games using the cards, discussion questions, and reproducible activities, 288 cards, and 72-page guide.
