I am going to start the chapter on quadratics when we return from vacation. Students often ask the "why am I learning this?" question with this chapter. I would like to provide them with a real answer. Not just because they need to pass Algebra! ||  || My goal is to create a unit which ties together technology and real-world problem solving. ||  || https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BwEjQzlT0AjMR3V3SllXLUtUaE9aU21zNDFyU0tHQQ ||   || If students are in charge of their own learning, how will we be sure they learn what is important?
