Using iPads and Explain Everything to “sort” through the Quadratic Formula

Grade 10’s today will use our iPads to sort through some solutions to quadratic equations. For each equation, the solution has been cut up and scattered. The grade 10’s will have to re organize the solutions in the correct order. The progression of the different problems will lead towards re-organizing the steps involved in developing the quadratic formula. Below are a couple screen shots of the sorting slides. All sorting and re-organizing is done in the iPad app Explain Everything. Download the Sorting File.

Factoring Foldable!

While we learn factoring techniques we will keep examples and notes in our Factoring Foldable.

As we learn each new technique students will add those examples to the foldable.

Here are some samples.

Update [Oct 28 2014] – Students are loving this foldable……some even enough to keep it year after year. Here is one of my NOW returning grade 12 students who has kept her foldable for the last three years.
