Original Prompt

You said: Hello. I have 8 days of class time to do a review unit on quadratics in my algebra 2b classes. How should I structure them? I want the instruction to feel different than the same teaching they got in Algebra 2A when we did quadratics almost the whole trimester.

This document serves as a kickoff activity for reviewing quadratics. It includes a series of diagnostic questions to assess prior knowledge, such as factoring expressions and solving quadratic equations. Students rate their confidence levels and brainstorm what they remember about quadratics, including vocabulary, formulas, and methods. There’s also an error analysis challenge where students identify and correct mistakes in a student's work regarding the maximum height of a rocket, modeled by a quadratic equation. Additionally, the document discusses various methods for solving quadratic equations and includes practice sections requiring students to choose the best method for given problems. Finally, a design challenge invites students to create a real-world scenario modeled by a quadratic function, translating it into a verbal description, equation, table of values, and graph.
