This task shows three equivalent expressions and requires that students understand the structure and purpose of each one. This is a critical aspect of Seeing Structure in Expressions. 
The primary purpose of this task is to assess students' knowledge of certain aspects of the mathematics described in the High School domain A-SSE: Seeing Structure in Expressions. Specifically, standard A-SSE.3 reads A-SSE.3: Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression. a. Factor a quadratic expression to reveal the zeros of the function it defines. b. Complete the square in a quadratic expression to reveal the maximum or minimum value of the function it defines.
The Standards avoid the term "simplify" as there isn't always an obvious simplest form. The emphasis instead is on, "purposeful transformation of expressions into equivalent forms that are suitable for the purpose at hand." This task shows three equivalent expressions and requires that students understand the structure and purpose of each one. This is a critical aspect of Seeing Structure in Expressions. 
Mathematically this task:
• Prompts students to analyze three equivalent quadratic expressions • Allows students to focus on the structure of the expressions without focusing on the procedural skill of factoring or expanding the expressions • Gives a real-world context for students to interpret the properties of quadratic expressions • Requires students to look for and make use of structure (MP.7)
In the classroom: • Offers students and teachers an opportunity to see an assessment-type task with two response types • Allows teachers to target specific student misunderstandings for reteaching • With follow-up questions, teachers can prompt students to share their thinking about the concepts in this task

This is a project that can be used individually or with groups.  It includes detailed instructions and rubric.

Mathematical goals
This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to understand what the different algebraic forms of a quadratic function reveal about the properties of its graphical representation. In particular, the lesson will help you identify and help students who have the following difficulties:
Understanding how the factored form of the function can identify a graph's roots.Understanding how the completed square form of the function can identify a graph's maximum or minimum point.Understanding how the standard form of the function can identify a graph's intercept.

Before the lesson, students work individually on an assessment task that is designed to reveal their current understandings and difficulties. You then review their work and create questions for students to answer in order to improve their solutions.After a whole-class interactive introduction, students work in pairs on a collaborative discussion task in which they match quadratic graphs to their algebraic representation. As they do this, they begin to link different algebraic forms of a quadratic function to particular properties of its graph.At the end of the lesson there is a whole-class discussion.In a follow-up lesson students attempt to improve their original response to the assessment task.
Materials required
Each individual student will need two copies of the Quadratic Functions assessment task and a mini-whiteboard, pen, and eraser.Each pair of students will need Domino Cards 1 and Domino Cards 2, cut into ten ‘dominoes'.
Time needed
15 minutes before the lesson, a 95-minute lesson (or two shorter lessons), and 10 minutes in a follow-up lesson. Timings are approximate and will depend on the needs of the class.

This book is designed to teach social skills to many different types of children, particularly those with social problems. Often labeled as having a social skills deficit, these children may be considered aggressive, socially isolated, or shy. The underlying concept is that to proceed through the expected stages of their social development, children should posses all the skills addressed by this book. Written for use by groups of children, such as a classroom or a counseling group, the activities are intended to help children in every aspect of their social development, as they relate their peers, their parents and their teachers. While many activities can be used with just one child, it is hard to argue with the concept that social skills are best learned in a social environment.

Colorín Colorado is the premier national website serving educators and families of English language learners (ELLs) in Grades PreK-12. Colorín Colorado has been providing free research-based information, activities, and advice to parents, schools, and communities around the country for more than a decade.

Learn more about our mission to serve ELLs as well as the team that makes Colorín Colorado possible below.

Colorín Colorado is an educational service of WETA, the flagship public broadcasting station in the nation's capital, and receives major funding from the American Federation of Teachers and National Education Association.

The name "Colorín Colorado" comes from a playful phrase that is often said at the end of stories in Spanish-speaking countries: "¡Y Colorín Colorado, este cuento se ha acabado!" or "¡Y Colorín Colorado, este cuento se ha terminado!" (Colorín Colorado, the story has ended!) There's no equivalent in English, but the phrase is similar to "The End" or "...and they lived happily ever after," or "That's all, folks!"

The saying brings back happy childhood memories of storytelling and reading for generations of people from many different countries. Making people smile about reading seemed like a perfect way to introduce our project.
