Transformations of Linear and Exponential Graphs

What does an exponential pattern look like in real life? After viewing a video of the population growth of bacteria, learners use the real-life scenario to collect data and graph the result. Their conclusion should be a new type of...

What do you get when you cross piecewise functions with transformations?  An engaging instructional activity! The conclusion of a four-part series on the transformations of functions asks class members to apply transformations to...

How do letters and numbers create a picture? Scholars learn to create input/output tables to graph functions. They graph both linear and nonlinear functions by creating tables and plotting points. 

Challenge the class to determine the equation of a line. The 21st part in a 33-part series begins with a proof that every line is a graph of a linear equation. Pupils use that information to find the slope-intercept form of the...

There are parent functions, and then there are parent functions with a really interesting way to explore them. High schoolers are asked to graph different combinations of parent functions together and determine the point of...

Model situations with graphs. In the fourth installment of a 16-part module, scholars learn to qualitatively analyze graphs of piecewise linear functions in context. They learn to sketch graphs for different situations.

Watch as your knowledge of quadratic functions grows parabolically. An educational video shows scholars how to graph quadratic functions. The method shown here is to create a table of values and graph the function by hand.

It is transformational! With the beginning lesson on transformations, pupils learn about vertical and horizontal translations. Scholars see how to graph important points to show the translations and then to write the transformed graph in...

Sal solves several problems involving exponential growth functions for two reasons. First, he aims to familiarize viewers with the process, particularly for those who find exponents challenging or daunting. Second, Sal wants to show how...

So, exactly, what does it look like? The easily usable graphing calculator allows pupils to visualize the graph of equations and inequalities. The interactive supports any algebraic graph needed for high school mathematics and then some.
