Teaching strategies
[i]Type of lesson:[/i] [br]Lesson "Family Function second degree" is a deepening of knowledge and is addressed for students from mathematics or computer science. [br][br][i]Preliminary knowledge:[/i] [br]Students have already learned to study the function of the second degree by signs of dominant factor and discriminant, and can solve second degree equations and inequalities, and reducible to, even with parameter. The novelty of the lesson consists the increased difficulty of the problems, all problems involve the existence of a parameter to be discussed.[br][br][i]Strategies and methods:[/i][br]The chosen strategy is to combine solving problems using new technologies in order to help increase understanding and retention. Where appropriate, we will use GeoGebra both to verify the results and to view studied objects, but also as a source of inspiration to stimulate intuition, helping students in their attempt to demonstrate the properties required by anticipating the results and identify certain repetitive patterns. [br][br][i]The integration of new technologies:[/i][br]To each proposed problem, students will be free to use as they wish GeoGebra Graph Calculator (including CAS). However, to streamline activities, we recommend an application ready before that displays Algebra sheet and Graphics sheet with a parameter already introduced as a slider m. Students must enter the given function in the input bar, to observe points special, to draw path (Trace on) of the parabola vertex and to start cursor animations. All these actions are facilitated by GeoGebra Graph Calculator by displaying a keyboard easy to use, but also automatically display special points (roots and the vertex of the parabola). It also assumes that students already have used GeoGebra before, although a possible training would take several minutes.[br][br][i]Activity itself:[/i] [br]We propose to students a set of 10 problems to be solved, at least 4-5 for this lesson and next will remain as homework. For each issue, students use interactive sheet.[br][br][br][i]1) Let the family of second-degree functions: [/i][math]f_m:\mathbb{R}\longrightarrow\mathbb{R},f_m\left(x\right)=mx^2+2\left(m+1\right)x+m-1[/math][i], where [/i][math]m[/math][i] is a real parameter.
