The Quadratic Formula, Algebra Mini Project

In this project, students will create a trifold flyer of The Quadratic Formula. The flyer will include:

*Deriving the formula

*Solving an example using the Quadratic Formula

*Coming up with examples.

Students can create this flyer as to teach someone else the lesson on deriving the Quadratic Formula. This project will help students understand the formula and how it was derived. It will also allow students to think and come up with their own examples with answers.
