Finding the Vertex of a Parabola Given Vertex Form

Activity Overview

Students will graph parabolas and record and compare the results to discover how to find the vertex given the vertex form of the equation.

Before the Activity

Students should know how to enter an equation in f(x) and how to find the coordinates of a point.
