| Description: |
Guided activities with the Graph Explorer applet, designed to let students learning about quadratic functions explore: the parabolic shape of the graphs of quadratic functions; how coefficients affect the position and scale of the graph; how the graph of the function relates to those of its factors; the location of the axis of symmetry; and "completing the square." |

| Comment: | A nice, clean webpage with a good perspective on quadratic equations (as the product of linearly-related quantities). Great lab exercises as well, I actually learned something about quadratics. |
