Welcome to xsquared.wikispaces.com!

The purpose of this wiki is to collect, analyze, and share information about parabolas and quadratics from around the world. This wiki was created for and authored by members of Mrs. Shutters' Algebra 1 class at [|Roycemore School].

Would you like to participate in this wiki? Please send an email to eshutters@roycemoreschool.org with your name, email address, and how you'd like to participate. We would love to hear about the parabolas in your world!
