RF02: Students will not be expected to generate a quadratic from data or a situation where the vertex or x-intercepts are not evident (click here to see which questions are in the Foundations of Mathematics 11 Textbook do not need to be covered as part of Mathematics 11 Curriculum).
Additional Resources and Activities for RF02 (Quadratics):
Expanding and Factoring Quadratics Fill in the Blanks - A review of factoring quadratic expressions from Dr. Austin Maths. Solutions.
Two Truths and One Lie - Students worked in pairs as a team to develop the two truths and one lie about a quadratic function. After writing their statements on a sticky note they traded stickies with another group and identified which statements were true and which was the lie.
Down the Drain - Drain the water from a hole in the bottom of a water bottle to investigate two different quadratic relationships: the shape of the stream of water and the rate the water level falls.
Quadratic Equations Open - Middle - *Added March 2025* (From: How I Teach Maths Blog by John Rowe). Use the values 0 - 9 to create three equivalent quadratic functions, in different forms.
Desmos Polygraph: Parabolas - This is a great online activity for a class to try out. One student selects a parabola. Another student tries to guess which parabola was chosen by asking yes/no questions. Student practice mathematical communication in this activity.
Angry Birds: The Parabolic Edition and Angry Birds - Parabolas - Given different parabolic flight paths do the angry birds hit the pigs?
