Hello fellow mathematician  and welcome to The Amazing World of Quadratics. You have now entered the world of quadratics. You will learn about quadratics and make a video with quadratics in sports.You will be evaluated on the quality of your video. and don't forget, HAVE FUN!!!

Task

This web quest will teach the students on the basics of quadratics. This web quest requires student to know basic algebra and know some of algebra 2. This topic is fairly easy. You much create a video or research a video that shows quadratics being used in sports. The video does not have to be long at all.

Step 1: The student should identify their preferred sport. They should go out and make or research a video of this sport with the parts that relates to quadratics.

Step 2(optional): if the student choices to make and original video, this is the step in which the record the video.

Step 3: once the footage is gather, they will go in and edit the video as neccesary
