This week in 8th grade math we are finishing up our unit on quadratic equations and starting our trebuchet project. So far this week, we finished the last sections on quadratic functions by learning about discriminants and how to identify a quadratic function from an x and y table. We then started a great NOVA video on how trebuchets work and how to best build one. We will finish the video tomorrow and then the class will break into groups and build their own trebuchets. For the rest of the week we will work on how to launch the trebuchet and how to manipulate the different variables that can be changed in the trebuchets. We will then start to record data.
The 8th grade final exam will be next Friday May 20th
