Free Quadratic Formula Warm-up Template

Writing down a, b and c from their quadratic equation to stick into the Quadratic Formula always helps my students cut down on errors. I made them this Quadratic Formula template to help get used to identifying a, b and c, and then plugging the values into the formula.


The structure of the Quadratic Formula can give my students trouble, so the "skeleton" formula on this template has been helpful, especially in the first days of learning how to solve quadratics with the formula. 


Warm up templates have been game changers in my classes! They give my students the repetition they need to be independent and also free up so much of my planning time. I just print a stack and go! 

Update: If you'd like to slip copies of the template into page protectors and use dry erase markers, this full-page version was just added to make it easier to use markers.

That slide above is part of the PowerPoint I shine on the smart board that goes along with the Quadratic Formula template. Students transfer the equation onto their template and solve on their own. It's linked free inside the Quadratic Formula template file.

Quadratic Formula escape room

For self-checking Quadratic Formula practice, this Quadratic Formula escape room covers both real and complex solutions. Students type the correct 4-letter code to move to each next puzzle. The escape room includes a printable version, too.

I wrote more about the quadratic activities we do in class in the post Fun with Quadratics.

I also made a complex zeros cheat sheet that shows complex solutions graphically. 

Here is a closeup of the visual.
