Graphing Quadratics

Check #30 and 31 (but not collected)
Take BM 8.2 and 8.3
Graphing Quadratics Completely [BM 10.1]
• Vertex
• Intercepts
• axis
HW: #32 Graphing Quadratics

Here is a Helpful Website on graphing quadratics.

Reminder: Benchmarks 9.1 and 10.1, as well as retakes for 8.2, 8.3, 5.1, 6.1 and 6.2 on Wednesday

I had a hard time grasping the lesson of Friday, but the more time I spent working on the problem the easier it became. So keep working hard and you will get it too.

I left home early on Friday because I had the stomach flu [blah] so I wasn't there for the lesson. I'm probably going to go after school on Tuesday to go and see how to do these right. I'll keep figuring out how to do them though. :)

The lesson on friday was confusing to me, although when I was doing the problems at home the notes helped me a lot.

I was gone for most of the period but i learned how to figure the y intercept and the vertex which are the same

Graphing Quadratic Equations is an easy concept to grasp, but actually working the problems out creates this tension between you and your worksheet, like you want to tear it up into tiny little pieces and start Christmas break early. But I think it is difficult because all of the steps, especially when you get a fraction for X. Did we go over oh how to solve for Intercept form?

Today's lesson was ok, but getting my math test today...I was kind of mad because I skipped a couple of Steps on some problems and had one of the correct answers right but I guess I didn't mark it. Im turning a new page and willing to work hard now but it might be too late or I have to work extra hard

this lesson had it easy parts and its confusing ones. for example, i figured out how to find the vertex and the y-intercept but, when it came to finding the x-intercept i was at a lost for words. i think i need a little more practice and hopefully i will grasp the concept.
