Dilations of Quadratic Graphs - Concept

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Dilations of Quadratic Graphs - Concept instructional video also includes:
  • Dilations of Quadratic Graphs - Problem
  • Join to access all included materials

Help learners recognize the characteristics of a quadratic graph and how changes affect them. An informative video uses a graphing calculator in order to find out what happens when the leading coefficient of a quadratic changes. The resource continues with showing by hand what happens to the points of the parent graph when undergoing a dilation.

Instructional Ideas

  • Pause the video to have class members guess what the graph will look like
  • Have pupils graph the functions by hand to find the specific changes for the functions graphed

Classroom Considerations

  • The class should be familiar with graphing quadratics using tables of values

Pros

  • Concept video has a transcript
  • The resource uses two methods to graph  technology and by hand

Cons

  • The explanation for the concept video is not the correct one
