I think I will definitely cover vertex form as well. That should definitely help when I teach it for absolute value and quadratics!Mrs. Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13760483794614310084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51958265250790371.post-33394858178738051222012-09-19T15:15:10.122-05:002012-09-19T15:15:10.122-05:00how did you transition to the vertex form or did y...how did you transition to the vertex form or did you simply say let's try it this way?

Yes, I teach Vertex Form instead of Po...@vanvleettv<br />Yes, I teach Vertex Form instead of Point-Slope. This is the first year I've done it this way, but so far, it has worked out very well. In the past, with point-slope, students focused more on where to put the numbers rather than what those numbers mean. In Vertex Form, they can tell me that the line shifts left, right, up, down, etc. It has been a keeper for me :)druinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363634340959613461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51958265250790371.post-35941633423208904102012-09-17T17:59:34.108-05:002012-09-17T17:59:34.108-05:00I am assuming you teach vertex form instead of poi...I am assuming you teach vertex form instead of point-slope? <br />As in y = a(x - h) + k, where (h,k) is the point and a is the slope? Do you think the students do better with that rather than point-slope? Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
