=The Quadratic Formula Song =

= = The video below was designed by students as a way to help them remember the quadratic formula. We will be talking more about the quadratic formula in class, but in the mean time, watch the video below and be thinking about what you would need to create your own quadratic formula song. media type="file" key="YouTube - The Quadratic Formula Video .mov" width="270" height="270" align="center"

Now that you have watched the clip, choose three other students to create your own version of the quadratic formula song. The four of you will need to create a tune using audacity or garageband, set the tune to lyrics, and create a hand movements or a dance to go along with the song. You have the choice of recording your video and posting it here or performing live in class.
