    Lesson Plan: Introduction to Quadratic Functions

    Grade Level: 9th-12th grade

    Duration: 60 minutes

    Objectives:

     Understand the basic structure of quadratic functions.


     Identify key components of a quadratic function, such as the vertex and axis of symmetry.
     Interpret and analyze the graph of a quadratic function.

    Materials:

     Whiteboard and markers


     Graphing calculators (optional)
     Handouts with quadratic functions

    Lesson Structure:

    1. Introduction (5 minutes):

     Begin with a brief discussion on the importance of quadratic functions in real life. Mention examples such as
    parabolic motion, engineering, and economics.

    2. Warm-up Activity (10 minutes):

     Provide a simple quadratic function (e.g., f(x) = x^2) and ask students to graph it on the whiteboard or their graphing
    calculators. Discuss the shape of the graph and any noticeable characteristics.

    3. Exploring Quadratic Functions (15 minutes):

     Define the general form of a quadratic function: �(�)=��2+��+�f(x)=ax2+bx+c.


     Explain the role of each coefficient (a, b, and c) in shaping the graph.
     Discuss the concepts of the vertex and axis of symmetry. Emphasize how they relate to the graph.

    4. Guided Practice (15 minutes):

     Present a specific quadratic function (e.g., �(�)=�2−4�+3f(x)=x2−4x+3) and guide students


    through finding its vertex and axis of symmetry.

     Discuss the significance of these values and how they relate to the graph's characteristics.

    5. Independent Practice (10 minutes):


     Distribute handouts with several quadratic functions and ask students to find the vertex and axis of symmetry for
    each one.

     Encourage them to use graphing calculators if available.

    6. Graph Analysis (5 minutes):

     Review the answers to the independent practice. Discuss any common mistakes or misconceptions.

    7. Real-world Applications (5 minutes):

     Briefly mention real-world scenarios where quadratic functions are used, such as projectile motion, architecture, and
    finance.

    8. Conclusion (5 minutes):

     Summarize the key points of the lesson, emphasizing the importance of understanding quadratic functions in various
    fields.

     Assign homework or additional practice problems if time permits.

    Assessment:

     Assess students based on their participation in class discussions, their accuracy in finding the vertex and axis of
    symmetry, and their ability to interpret the graph of quadratic functions.

    Homework (if desired):

     Assign practice problems involving quadratic functions, focusing on finding the vertex and axis of symmetry
