Kids started off the year studying quadratic equations. I thought it would be nice if the kids could appreciate the relationship between the A, B, and C coefficients and the graph of a quadratic equation (called a parabola). Kids used a GeoGebra applet I created for them to discover just that. I then challenged them to create a paraBOOla (a ghost entirely made with parabolas) with a Chipmunk BASIC program I wrote for them.
