Algebra II: Around the Vertex in 80 Days

by Texas Instruments

Overview

Students move a quadratic function in the coordinate plane to specific points to observe how the vertex form of the equation changes.

Key Steps

  • Image

    Students will move a parabola to different quadrants of the coordinate plane to determine patterns in the vertex form of the equation.

  • Image

    Next, students will make the parabola wider or narrower to observe how the equation changes.

  • Image

    Students will also find equations of parabolas that meet specific requirements.
