Angry Penguins -- Piecewise & Transformations - 21st Century Math Project
In American culture people have an affinity for launching birds, pheasants and other sorts of fowl at oblivious targets with a sling shot. Where does this fascination come from? Nobody knows. Nonetheless, it makes for an interesting quadratic function application. Are you ready to help out costumed Penguins extract centuries of revenge against those slap-happy menacing predators –- the Seals. Of course you are. You get to do that in this 21st Century Math Project.I have found that piecewise func

Piecewise Functions Tax Day Project and Lab
Constructing and using piecewise functions is fun and engaging in this tax challenge. In this project students will learn about the basics of taxable income and deductions. Then they'll take on the role of a tax consultant to help their clients, Stan Lobs, Laura Lindy, and the Mula couple make sense of their tax forms. Each client falls into a different tax bracket and require the use of a piecewise function to determine their refund. Read W-2s, write refund checks, and learn how to interpret ta

Quadratic Formula and Regression: Farming Project and Lab
Working with quadratic functions is fun and engaging in this real-life farming project. Based on REAL market prices and agriculture challenges, students will work to make their farm profitable. This project is immersed in quadratic applications.
Students will:
(1) Use the quadratic equation to find the area of rented farmland
(2) Look for quadratic regression to find the ideal planting density
(3) Develop a projectile motion function to find herbicide spray time
(4) Convert between

Parent Functions Discovery Performance Task
Learning about parent functions can be boring and possibly disengage students. This resource gives students the opportunity to discover parent functions individually (or in groups), with links provided, but research is suggested. There is a checklist for students to follow that serves as a rubric for grading as well, which helps them create a wonderful product and/or presentation.
