🚀 Quad-Rockets: The Rocket Project for Algebra 2
A hands-on, real-world quadratic function project your students will never forget.
Tired of students asking “When am I ever going to use this?” It’s time to give them an answer they won’t just understand—they’ll launch it across the classroom.
This rocket project brings quadratic functions to life with real data, DIY design, and high-flying math modeling. It’s one of my all-time favorite ways to teach graphing quadratics—and now you can grab it directly from my site for a lower price than TPT, with exclusive bundle offers to save even more. 🙌
💥 What’s Included:
This quadratic function project is broken into four easy-to-run phases:
-
Phase 1: Launch + Research – Start with background info and a big spark of curiosity.
-
Phase 2: Build It – Students design and build their own rocket using basic classroom supplies.
-
Phase 3: Launch + Collect Data – Students record flight data to use for modeling.
-
Phase 4: Graph + Analyze – They’ll write, graph, and compare three quadratic models using real launch data.
You’ll also get:
✅ A printable graphing quadratics project pack
✅ A ready-to-assign Google Slides version for digital use
✅ A clear grading rubric that takes the stress out of assessment
✅ Editable project to customize to your classroom
🧠 Skills Covered:
-
Writing equations in vertex form
-
Graphing quadratic functions by hand
-
Identifying key features: vertex, x-intercepts, domain/range
-
Comparing models using real-world data
Perfect for Algebra 2 or advanced Algebra 1 classes—and a great way to wrap up a unit or re-engage students after testing.
