Quadratics & Energy in Motion
An Intensive Workshop

Unlock the power of quadratic functions to explore vertical motion, energy, and physics in this interactive workshop.

Part of a new seminar series from the teachers at Engaging Math Circles, this workshop invites students to explore hands-on, applied mathematics in exciting and meaningful ways. Designed as a multi-day learning experience for curious, motivated students eager to apply math to real-world problems and strengthen their problem-solving skills.

Through engaging problem-solving and technology integration, students will:

  • Apply quadratic equations to real-world motion scenarios
  • Analyze energy transformations using kinetic and potential energy equations
  • Graph motion data and interpret features like vertex, roots, and slopes
  • Use spreadsheets and graphing tools for data analysis

Prerequisites:

Students should be comfortable with linear functions and have at least an introductory understanding of quadratic equations — typically covered by the second semester of Algebra 1.
