This task differentiates learning by giving keener students the chance to show their understanding by doing fewer (but more challenging) problems. For grading students work, I usually give "all the points" or "half the points" for a partially correct solution. You could break it into quarters if you need to be more specific :) You can edit the .docx version to suit your specific class needs. This makes a great exam review, even if you don't wish to use it for evaluation purposes! INCLUDED: .docx and .pdf file versions

Students choose the best method (factorise, quadratic formula, isolating x directly from vertex form...) to solve 12 quadratic equations. This provides some basic practice for students. The picture is a bit of a downer... a sad face. I made this for my students after marking some disappointing tests, recognizing that many needed more practice! The way the task works is: Students solve for the roots of the quadratic and use the "greater" or "lessor" root as indicated to decode the colour-by-number grid. i.e. Blue = lessor root of x^2 + 3x + 2 which is (x+2)(x+1) and has roots -2 and -1, so the "lessor root" would be -2. The student would colour all the squares blue that have -2 inside. The method I had in mind for each question is: 1) simple factorable 2) quadratic formula 3) simple factorable, common factor 4) simple factorable 5) complex factorable 6) quadratic formula 7) simple factorable 8) complex factorable 9) simple factorable 10) quadratic formula 11) vertex form, a value not 1, integer answer 12) vertex form, a value =1, decimal answer This product includes .docx and .pdf version Be sure to check out my Collaborative Math Mosaics for a variety of topics!

Goal: Model a real life problem with a quadratic relation of the form y=a(x-h)²+k , and use this equation to solve problems. Problem: Farmer Bill has 28m of wire fence material to enclose a rectangular garden. He is trying to decide between two possible garden options: Garden A → in the middle of the yard Garden B → against the barn Students will create a table of values, a graph, and determine the vertex form equation for each garden, then answer some questions. The product includes two sheets of grid paper. All the instructions / questions fit nicely on one page; students should show their work on a separate sheet of paper. A sample exemplar is included from a student's work in my own classroom. This makes a nice tidy assignment form MPM2D (Ontario Curriculum)

Highly Engaging! My students volunteered to complete extra sheets! You get two full class set of 28 worksheets that come together to make the giraffe mosaic in both a word-problem format, and in the recently added diagrams-version! PLUS I've added 'small group' versions for 4 or 8 students, making the task very flexible to various class sizes. Each worksheet represents a small section of the big picture! The end result will look spectacular hanging up in your classroom :) Students use the basic trig ratios (sin, cos, tan) to solve for sides and angles, then use the answers to colour their worksheets based on the colour key. So much cooler than textbook homework! It's Simple: 1. Calculate the answers. 2. Colour the squares. 3. Cut out your section. 4. Combine with the class! INCLUDED (.docx and .pdf of everything): --> Full class set of 28 worksheets (all different!) that combine to create the Giraffe mosaic. --> Full sets for both the 4-worksheet and 8-worksheet versions. (More of a traditional colour-by-number style.... look at the preview) --> A Teaching Tips page to help you implement this task smoothly -->Worksheets involve a range of right trigonometry problems that involve choosing and/or applying the correct primary trig ratio to solve for an unknown side or angle. --> Master Answer Key showing both the colour and numeric solution for all worksheet problems for the 28-student version, and the colour key with answer-ranges for the small-group versions. Teaching Tip: Have students draw a right triangle and label the given information as they read each problem. The student buy-in factor is HUGE with these worksheets; they all want to see the finished picture come together! High school students love colouring too! This sure beats textbook homework! Imagine if your students were the ones policing homework completion? "Common Josh! Do your work or we'll have a hole in our picture!" Leave the picture a secret or show it for motivation… it’s your call. Encourage students to check their answers by finding them in the randomized list on their worksheet before they colour each square. This will increase the accuracy of the final picture! All my “Colouring by…” worksheets use standard pencil-crayon colours found in the Crayola 24 pack. For best results, use the exact colour name match (and encourage quality colouring!). Perhaps a class set of pencil crayons would be a fun math department investment! Thanks for checking this out! ~CalfordMath

Highly Engaging! Students work independently on their own worksheet, yet collaboratively create a whole-class Apple Tree mosaic when the work is all done! Four versions of the mosaic are included: • Basic Area & Perimeter, Diagram • Basic Area & Perimeter, Word Problems • Basic Area & Perimeter, Mixed Diagram & Word Problems • Multi-Step Area & Perimeter (Involves Pythagorean Theorem, Solving for radius, etc.) All 4 versions can be mix 'n matched to create the same mosaic, so you could differentiate the task for different ability levels if you like. Every worksheet has a unique set of problems, yet follows the same order of problem-type! You can confidently have students work together without cheating. Expect to hear good peer-to-peer math conversation and teaching. INCLUDED: • pdf and docx versions of all mosaics (each one containing 20 worksheets) • Complete answers key giving the colour and numeric answer for all problems on every worksheet • Students' worksheets have a randomized answer list at the bottom so they can monitor their own understanding. • A Teaching Tips page, for smooth implementation of this task The student buy-in factor is HUGE with these worksheets Encourage students to check their answers by finding them in the randomized list on their worksheet before they colour each square. All my “Colouring by…” worksheets use standard pencil-crayon colours found in the Crayola 24 pack. For best results, use the exact colour name match (and encourage quality colouring!).
