Introduction
Join this exciting underwater journey in search of lost treasures. You are a brave submariner exploring the ocean to retrieve the treasure chest stolen by King Eel. Solve quadratic puzzles along the way to earn sea badges!
Let the journey begin! Check your navigation cards — they reveal the key features of each quadratic form! Master the vertices, intercepts, and curves to steer the submarine safely.

- vertex - the highest or lowest point on the parabola, located at (h, k).
- y-intercept - the value of ‘c’ in the equation.
- x-intercepts - the points where the parabola crosses the x-axis, at x = p and x = q

The parabola crosses the y-axis at (0, 4). This is the y-intercept.
LEVEL 1: Rocky Valley
Rocky Valley
As you explore rocky Valley, you’ve found a deck of underwater cards! Match each graph or feature to its quadratic form to reveal the safe path and avoid traps.

Sea Explorer! You mastered Rocky Valley! Onward to deeper waters!”
Sea Explorer
LEVEL 2: Dark Pit
Dark Pit
You’ve entered the Dark Pit, a deep, shadowy trench filled with jagged rocks. Glowing sonar signals trace mysterious parabolas — your task is to identify the y-intercept and the direction each parabola opens. Use the sliders on the Desmos graph to navigate the trench. Each correct choice lights a safe path through the trench!

Sonar Navigator
You’ve safely guided the sub through the Dark Pit by using sonar to spot the y-intercept and opening direction. Great work, Captain!
LEVEL 3: Lush barrier
Lush barrier
A thick wall of glowing algae blocks your path! Adjust the sliders and choose the correct answer before time runs out to clear a safe passage.

Choose your treasure chest
Congratulations!
You have found a chest full of valuable relics. Get ready to strike gold when you reach the surface!

Wow!
Who would have thought that inside the treasure lies... a map to another treasure? It seems like the adventures of this submarine don't end here!
Start over
What a surprise!
It seems that the henchmen of King Eel have chosen you as the new sovereign. Will you choose the path of good or prefer to maintain the legacy of evil?
