Creating real life representations of high level math concepts can help students not only understand but help them remember important skills that they need to know. Students will build mini catapults and use them to calculate the projectile of an M&M in order to accurately hit their target. This reenforces quadratic skills and helps students understand some of the uses of projectile motion. Many students do not understand what the key features of a quadratic function actually represent until they see it’s meaning in their catapult. This activity is highly engaging and helps bring quadratics to life. Applying math to the real world can be fun!
