Gamification in the Quadratics Unit

Abstract

This curriculum connects with the New York State (NYS) Next Generation Mathematics Standards that were created from the Common Core State Standards. This curriculum was designed to encourage student engagement in the Algebra 1 classroom through guided notes and gamification. The curriculum includes lessons for solving quadratic equations by factoring, completing the square, and the quadratic formula. The fourth lesson is a gamification unit-review activity of the three prior lessons for solving quadratic equations. Keys for all instructional materials are included in the appendix.
