Using Quadratic Equations to Solve Problems: Construct a Soccer Field

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Using Quadratic Equations to Solve Problems: Construct a Soccer Field interactive also includes:

Build a soccer field through a little mathematical analysis. Individuals manipulate the dimensions of a soccer field as they drag points to new positions. The simulation shows the corresponding intercepts and area. As pupils explore the dimensions, they build a quadratic model for the optimal field size.
