Quadratic Equations How can graphs, equations and tables be used to determine solutions to quadratic equations? What is the connection between x-intercepts and zeros of quadratic functions? What is the connection between roots and solutions of quadratic equations? 8

Quadratic Equations How can you determine if a set of data represents a quadratic relationship? What types of geometric situations can be solved using quadratic equations? Why is a quadratic function the best model to represent vertical motion? 9

Technology in Mathematics What are some ways to integrate technology in the classroom? How can we use the technology you’ve been working with in these sessions to enhance student understanding of mathematical concepts? 10
