Quadratic Equations with Complex Solutions - Partner Drawing Activity (typed solutions)
nikimathnikimath

Quadratic Equations with Complex Solutions - Partner Drawing Activity (typed solutions)

(0)
In this activity students will practice solving quadratic equations in standard form by the quadratic formula and by completing the square. All equations have complex solutions. Students will also practice plotting points on a coordinate plane, representing the values of the complex roots of the quadratic equations. An amusing part is the drawing activity where partners will draw easy drawing symbols around the plotted points and will produce a nice picture together. Activity Directions: Each partner is supposed to solve individually eight quadratic equations. The equations are marked with different symbols. Student solves the equations given like this: one equation - by the quadratic formula and the other - by completing the square and it goes still that way. Students show detailed solutions on the recording sheets provided. Then partners plot all the points, representing the values of the complex solutions they have already found on a coordinate plane given. They consider the symbol of each equation to be the symbol of its roots as well. At last students draw the symbol of each equation around the plotted points, corresponding to its complex solutions. All answer keys and FULL SOLUTIONS of the problems are included.
Solving Quadratic Equations  -  "Provide and Get Numbers" Partner Activity
nikimathnikimath

Solving Quadratic Equations - "Provide and Get Numbers" Partner Activity

(0)
This is a collaborative activity to practice solving complete quadratic equations in standard form by all methods. Students work through sections. In each section, each partner has one equation to solve by a specified method. Equations of the partners in each section are DEPENDENT. The problems are 28 WELL THOUGHT OUT that all have integer coefficients and solutions. Activity Directions: In Section One, Partner A starts solving the equation given and finding its roots while Partner B waits to receive the values of these roots from Partner A. Once the solution set is found Partner A “provides” Partner B with its numbers . Then Partner B places the numbers into the empty squares of his own equation given with two missing coefficients and solves the equation. There is an important instruction - the number which has its absolute value less to be put in place of the first missing coefficient. In Section Two partners repeat the same actions, however this time Partner B starts first. In Section Three, Partner A starts solving first again and it goes still the same way. Recording sheets are included for students to show work . All answer keys are included as well. NOTE: The pages are designed in a way that each partner can solve ten equations or even only six.

nikimathnikimath

DEFINITE INTEGRALS (Basic Integration) - Password Search Activity

(0)
Students will use the basic integration formulas solving definite integrals with this fun password search activity.
