Families of Functions Sort
Have some fun with functions with a short activity that asks learners to first sort scatter plot in terms of their correlation. They then sort graphs of different types of functions in terms of key features, such as slope.

Graphing Quadratic Equations from the Vertex Form
Graphing doesn't need to be tedious! When pupils understand key features and transformations, graphing becomes efficient. This lesson plan connects transformations to the vertex form of a quadratic equation.
Curated OER
Stretching the Quads
Scholars investigate transforming parabolas. In this transforming parabolas instructional activity, they take the parent graph y=x^2 and transform it by shifting left, right, up, and down and shrinking and stretching. The class finds...
