We can solve equations with an "x" in them. We can even solve equations when the x term is squared. What happens when we start mixing the two together? Join us to discover quadratic equations from the ground up and explore the beautiful connections between arithmetic, unknowns, and graphs, as we learn how to solve some of the most interesting puzzles in algebra! (Participants should have some basic familiarity with solving simple equations for an unknown, arithmetic, and working with fractions, squares, and square roots.)
