Students choose the best method (factorise, quadratic formula, isolating x directly from vertex form...) to solve 12 quadratic equations. This provides some basic practice for students. The picture is a bit of a downer... a sad face. I made this for my students after marking some disappointing tests, recognizing that many needed more practice! The way the task works is: Students solve for the roots of the quadratic and use the "greater" or "lessor" root as indicated to decode the colour-by-number grid. i.e. Blue = lessor root of x^2 + 3x + 2 which is (x+2)(x+1) and has roots -2 and -1, so the "lessor root" would be -2. The student would colour all the squares blue that have -2 inside. The method I had in mind for each question is: 1) simple factorable 2) quadratic formula 3) simple factorable, common factor 4) simple factorable 5) complex factorable 6) quadratic formula 7) simple factorable 8) complex factorable 9) simple factorable 10) quadratic formula 11) vertex form, a value not 1, integer answer 12) vertex form, a value =1, decimal answer This product includes .docx and .pdf version Be sure to check out my Collaborative Math Mosaics for a variety of topics!

Goal: Model a real life problem with a quadratic relation of the form y=a(x-h)²+k , and use this equation to solve problems. Problem: Farmer Bill has 28m of wire fence material to enclose a rectangular garden. He is trying to decide between two possible garden options: Garden A → in the middle of the yard Garden B → against the barn Students will create a table of values, a graph, and determine the vertex form equation for each garden, then answer some questions. The product includes two sheets of grid paper. All the instructions / questions fit nicely on one page; students should show their work on a separate sheet of paper. A sample exemplar is included from a student's work in my own classroom. This makes a nice tidy assignment form MPM2D (Ontario Curriculum)

Highly Engaging! Students work independently on their own worksheet, yet collaboratively create a whole-class Apple Tree mosaic when the work is all done! Four versions of the mosaic are included: • Basic Area & Perimeter, Diagram • Basic Area & Perimeter, Word Problems • Basic Area & Perimeter, Mixed Diagram & Word Problems • Multi-Step Area & Perimeter (Involves Pythagorean Theorem, Solving for radius, etc.) All 4 versions can be mix 'n matched to create the same mosaic, so you could differentiate the task for different ability levels if you like. Every worksheet has a unique set of problems, yet follows the same order of problem-type! You can confidently have students work together without cheating. Expect to hear good peer-to-peer math conversation and teaching. INCLUDED: • pdf and docx versions of all mosaics (each one containing 20 worksheets) • Complete answers key giving the colour and numeric answer for all problems on every worksheet • Students' worksheets have a randomized answer list at the bottom so they can monitor their own understanding. • A Teaching Tips page, for smooth implementation of this task The student buy-in factor is HUGE with these worksheets Encourage students to check their answers by finding them in the randomized list on their worksheet before they colour each square. All my “Colouring by…” worksheets use standard pencil-crayon colours found in the Crayola 24 pack. For best results, use the exact colour name match (and encourage quality colouring!). Perhaps a class set of pencil crayons would be a fun math department investment! Feedback, suggestions, and frontline stories are much appreciated!! Thanks for checking this out! ~CalfordMath
