Do your Algebra 2 students need some extra practice solving quadratic equations with the quadratic formula? This digital and printable activity will reinforce how to find zeros of functions using only the quadratic formula!
The printable version of this card sort can be used as an independent cut-and-paste activity or laminated to use for small groups. I love using card sorts as sub plans because the cutting and gluing takes up some extra time and keeps my students engaged for a longer period of time.
You can use the no-prep digital version of this quadratic formula activity for extra practice, math centers or test review. This card sort is Google Slides compatible so that the students can have their own copy to complete. A full set of teacher directions and answer keys is included for both versions of this card sort activity.
This quadratic formula activity includes:
✅ 12 questions for solving quadratic equations
✅ The digital version has a drag and drop answer bank
✅ The printable version has cut and paste cards and a student workspace
✅ Teacher directions for prepping the printable version and lesson planning tips
✅ Digital and printable answer keys
How to differentiate with this card sort:
This activity for solving equations with the quadratic formula uses built-in scaffolding to meet your students where they are. Each slide gives 12 possible options with only 8 correct answers. Your students will have the confidence builder of an answer bank without being able to rely on the process of elimination.
For less differentiation, you can use the printable version as a standard worksheet without matching cards.
