Original Prompt

I would like to create a worksheet that allows my students in my intermediate algebra 2 class to practice solving quadratic equations by graphing. All I need is 1 example problem and 15 practice problems that have a quadratic equation, a spot to list the solutions, a spot to list the vertex, and a very basic coordinate plane for each problem (only x and y axis labeled). Please fit this onto two pages.

This resource focuses on graphing quadratic equations, enabling students to determine solutions and vertices by plotting their corresponding functions on a coordinate plane. The lesson includes learning objectives, criteria for success, worked examples, and guided practice problems. Students will learn to find the vertex using the formula x = -b/2a, create value tables to plot points, and identify x-intercepts (roots) from graphs. The resource provides various quadratic equations for independent practice and a challenge task that requires students to write their own quadratic equation given specific conditions.
