[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Understanding the graphs of a parabola given equations. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional videos and attempt practice problems.

Students can use the Transform app to explore families of quadratic functions. Generalization about the effect of a, b and c coefficients have on the shape and position of the graph in general form, and the effect of a, h, and k in...

Jeopardy type of a game will ask students to practice working with the three forms of quadratic equations. Can they: identify the form of equation, find the vertex, find the x-intercepts, identify what the graph looks like?

Determine the height of a bouncing ball by creating a quadratic function for each.

Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson helps students understand how changing the values of y=a(x-b)^2+c changes the graph of the associated parabola. This is framed in the context of a bridge jumper, who enters the...

Find the zeroes ("roots") of quadratic functions and the vertex of their parabolas. Functions are given in standard, vertex, and factored form. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly,...

1. Students will be able to review how to find the vertex of a parabola using a graphing calculator. 2. Students will be able to observe the relationship between the values of a, h and k and the graph of a parabola in vertex form. 3....

This reference material introduces the terms and equations related to parabolas in the context of conics. Also, relates concepts to previously-learned material and shows how to 'read' from the 'conics' form of the parabola equation.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept introduces students to relations and what makes a relation a function.
