Didax Educational Resources The Algebra Game: Quadratic Equations Basic Educational Game

Multiple Card Sets for Differentiation

Each game comes with four decks of cards that increase in difficulty from A through D. The Quadratic Equations cards start with equations with integer roots only and proceed to complex roots and mixed integer coefficients. These different decks allow for quick and easy differentiation of the activities.

Engaging Activities Promote Teamwork and Discussion

The activities that are included with each game require students to match, identify, or represent functions in different ways. The activities are engaging enough to be repeated over and over, and using the different card decks provides an increased challenge as students develop a richer understanding of the concepts.

The Quadratic Equations activities span topics from basic graphs of quadratic equations to solving equations by factoring.

Rich Discussion Questions Promote Math Dialogue

Every activity, in each game, ends with a set of discussion questions. Brain research tells us that students need to discuss the mathematics they are learning as they are learning it, and these discussion questions take these already strong activities to this level. These open-ended questions help students build a better understanding of the concepts they are practicing.
