Essential Questions
  • How do we define, identify and graph quadratic functions?
  • How do we test programs to find errors


Students Will KnowStudents Will Be Doing
  • Computer Science and Mathematics specific vocab
  • Debugging
  • Predictions
  • Cause and Effect
  • Quadratic Function
  • Parabola
  • Vertex Form
  • Axis of Symatry
  • Learners will manipulate a quadratic equation to make a parabola fit over a real object using augmented reality.
  • Learners will make predictions, test their hypotheses, observe errors, and make adjustments.

Stage 2 - Evidence of Understanding

Assessments (Formative and Summative):Performance Task(s)
  • Image of a parabola fit around a real object taken from GeoGebra AR
  • Reflection questions regarding the debugging process and observations made during the manipulation of the quadratic equation
  • Augmented reality and parabola challenge
  • Reflection questions related to changes made to the quadratic equation
  • Reflection question related to the debugging process

Stage 3 - Lesson Learning Targets

Learning Activities: Learning targets are written from the students perspective. I can…
  • Change the shape and characteristics of a parabola
  • Identify how specific changes to a quadratic equation will affect the characteristics of a parabola
  • Follow a debugging process
These should lead up to answering the Essential Question(s).
