- Quadratic Cliff Jumping (pdf) and Jumping off a Cliff (ppt) - In May 2008 Project TIME presented at the Washington State Community College Mathematics conference. Quadratic Cliff Jumping presents activities that can be used either to introduce quadratic functions or to help motivate the importance of these functions. A video clip from the Terminator 3 film is used as a culminating activity to determine whether the android can really land on the moving van!
