This is another "Rummy" type card game. A parabola might be selected for a set because of its shape, vertex or even for the x & y intercepts. Students argue as to why their set it valid. The cards are designed to belong in at least two different sets. If a set has more than three members, any member can be taken to be used as part of a different set.
