Task
Materials
One 10-frame per pair of students (see example below)
[IMG]
Counters, 10 per pair of students
Decks of number cards 0-5 (with 4 of each number) or two 0-5 dice
Setup
This activity is done in pairs. The students sit side by side with 10-frame and deck of cards or dice. If they have cards, the cards are shuffled and placed face down in front of them.
Action
Player 1 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many counters on the 10-frame. Player 2 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many more counters on the 10-frame next to the counters already on the ten frame. The students count the total together.
A recording sheet can be added when the students have been introduced to equations and number sentences. For those students who can handle higher numbers, a deck of 0-10 cards and two 10-frames can be used.
This game can also be played alone.

problem_activity: Warm-up
This warm-up highlights the three forms of quadratic expressions students have seen so far. It reinforces how each form gives different insights into the graph of a quadratic function.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Give students a minute of quiet think time, and then ask them to share their thinking with a partner.
Student Facing
Expressions in different forms can be used to define the same function. Here are three ways to define a function
\(f\)
.
\(f(x)=x^2-4x+3\)
(standard form)
\(f(x)=(x-3)(x-1)\)
(factored form)
\(f(x)=(x-2)^2-1\)
(vertex form)
Which form would you use if you want to find the following features of the graph of
\(f\)
? Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
the
\(x\)
-intercepts
the vertex
the
\(y\)
-intercept

Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their responses and explanations. Encourage students to name specific features of the graph of
\(f\)
. If time permits, consider asking students to use all of the info they can gather to sketch a graph.
If not already mentioned by students, point out that while the standard form allows us to find the
\(y\)
-intercept more readily, the
\(y\)
-intercept can always be found by evaluating the function at
\(x=0\)
.
