              Drawing Parabolas

              To practice drawing parabolas students learn how to create a table of results for a quadratic equation. They use these results as coordinates to plot the parabola. As learning progresses they use the parabola to model a real life problem.
              Differentiated Learning Objectives
              • All students should be able to draw a parabola in the form y = x2 +a using a table of results.
              • Most students should be able to draw a parabola in the form y = x2 +ax + b using a table of results.
              • Some students should be able to draw and interpret the key properties of parabolic graphs.

              How to Draw a Venn Diagram to Calculate Probabilities

              March 16, 2020

              There are three common ways to organise data that fall into multiple sets: two-way tables, frequency diagrams and Venn diagrams.  Having blogged about frequency diagrams before I thought I would write about how to draw a Venn Diagram to calculate probabilities. Recapping Two-Way Tables This activity works well to review two-way tables from the previous […]
