Write the Equations:

Students are given the graphs of three absolute values functions and are asked to write the equation of each.

Lesson Plans

Name Description
Transforming Quadratics - The basics:

This lesson introduces students to the quadratic parent function, as well as reinforces some key features of quadratic functions. It allows students to explore basic transformations of quadratic functions and provides a note-taking sheet for students to organize their learning. There is a "FUN" cut and paste activity for students to match quadratic graphs with verbal descriptions and their equations.

Graphing Quadratics Made Easy: Vertex Form of the Equation:

This lesson covers quadratic translations as they relate to vertex form of a quadratic equation. Students will predict what will happen to the graph of a quadratic function when more than one constant is in a quadratic equation. Then, the students will graph quadratic equations in vertex form using their knowledge of the translations of a quadratic function, as well as describe the translations that occur. Students will also identify the parent function of any quadratic function as .

Translating Quadratic Functions:

In this lesson, students will investigate the changes to the graph of a quadratic function when the function is modified in four different ways by inclusion of an additive or multiplicative constant. Students will work in groups to graph quadratic functions, prepare a display of their functions, and determine how the modification affects the graph of the quadratic function. Then, students participate in a gallery walk, where members of each group will share their findings with a small group of students. At the end, there is a class discussion to see if everyone had similar findings and to solidify the knowledge of translating quadratic functions.

Graphing Quadratic Equations:

This is an introductory lesson to graphing quadratic equations. This lesson uses graphing technology to illustrate the differences between quadratic equations and linear equations. In addition, it allows students to identify important parts of the quadratic equation and how each piece changes the look of the graph.

Problem-Solving Task

Name Description
Interpreting the Graph:

The purpose of this task is to help students learn to read information about a function from its graph, by asking them to show the part of the graph that exhibits a certain property of the function. The task could be used to further instruction on understanding functions or as an assessment tool, with the caveat that it requires some amount of creativity to decide how to best illustrate some of the statements.
