Out of Left Field
Should Major League Baseball stadiums be standardized?
In this lesson, students use a quadratic function to model the trajectory of the average professional home run and debate whether Major League Baseball stadiums should all be designed the same.
Students will
- Write and solve quadratic equations in a real-world context
- Evaluate a quadratic function at given values
- Sketch a quadratic function from an equation written in vertex form, and interpret the key features
Before you begin
Students should be comfortable graphing and interpreting the standard form of a quadratic equation.Common Core Standards
