Quadratic Form Game

Two players or teams try to guess the equation for a parabola. The game chooses whether you get to guess vertex or standard form. Divide up the orange and green sides between two players or teams. Compute a new target function. Each player/team writes down their equation. When both are set, enter the parameters on the slider. Click the check button, and the team with the best match gets a point. This may require some arguing between teams. If you can’t agree, call a ref. Play for five rounds. Team with the most points wins. To explore the graphs and equation forms directly, try the applet at https://www.geogebra.org/m/awfMHkGp
