Using mathematics with homemade catapults HD

How do you take a math lesson like quadratic equations and help students apply it to real life? Mathematics teacher Ambika Dani did just that in her unit on quadratics. The grade 9 and 10 students used their knowledge of quadratic equations and creativity to build catapults for launching M&Ms. By measuring the path of the M&M, students can create equations that model the path of their parabolas. http://thinkglobalschool.org
