Previously Published Data 

1.) Students will solve problems like the following: A pitcher throws a warm-up pitch in a softball game. The path of the ball is modeled by the equation h = -16t(t) + 12t + 4, where h represents the height of the ball after t seconds. How long will it take for the ball to hit the catcher's mitt at ground level? 



Previously Published Data 

1.) This is a good time to assign a Unit Project pertaining to quadratic equations and their application to real world math. There are several different ones in any Integrated Math book.
