Modeling nonlinear relationships and analyzing maximum and minimum values
Students build a quadratic model to understand how price affects profit for an upcycled product.
How can math help turn an idea into a business? Students design an upcycled product and analyze how price influences demand and profit. Using quadratic models, students determine the price that maximizes profit and pitch their proposals to potential investors. Students experience how quadratic functions support real-world decision-making and entrepreneurship.

Module 5 Project Overview
Students create a business proposal for a product made from recycled materials. Their proposals will include profit projections using a quadratic model to show how pricing affects sales and revenue.
5 Minute Math - Make It: Quadratic Graph
While much of an XQ math module centers on project-based learning, some concepts are covered through direct practice. Every module includes a selection of "5 Minute Math" activities for building fluency.
Collect & Reflect
This daily activity helps students organize their work, reflect on their progress, and connect their daily efforts to their learning goals. By taking a couple of minutes each day to gather and review their work, students build strong habits, track growth, and stay on course toward meeting learning objectives.
