Taking Risk can = Temporary Failure



 

                What do you do when you plan an activity and it is EPIC failure?  When you try new things in the classroom there is a HUGE risk that there will be lessons that fail, COUNT ON IT.  I created this amazing, YES AMAZING activity.  My student aide cut it up, my intern teacher helped but it in the Ziplocs, and I got the activity ready.  Somehow we mixed up the bags.  IT HAPPENS.  Always have a back-up plan!!  This is just part of teaching life.
 

                After AGAIN sorting the bags I was ready for the activity.  The next day the activity went off without a hitch.  This is a matching the quadratic attributes to include:

                                                Standard Form

                                                Graph

                                                Roots

                                                Factor Form

                                                Vertex

                                                Axis of Symmetry

                                                And vertical shifts.

 I loved the math talk and watching all of the pieces of a quadratic fall in place for the students.  Check out my TpT store for this activity.
