My Geometry Honors students have been cutting and gluing so much lately. I think I’m going through a crafty phase in my teaching. :) I thought my Algebra 2 Honors kids might like to get in on the craftiness.
I typically derive the quadratic formula by hand for my students on the board while they follow along. This year, I typed up each step in the proof and had my students derive it themselves. It worked so well and they enjoyed doing it. You can download the file that I used.
When we were finished, I showed them a couple of videos to help them memorize the quadratic formula.
This was my student's favorite.
Overall, it was a fun day in Algebra 2 Honors.
