Folding Parabolas
In this activity, students graph a quadratic function and investigate its symmetry by choosing pairs of points with the same y-value. They then calculate the average of the x-values of these points and discover that not only do all the points have the same x-value, but the average is equal to the...https://education.ti.com/en/activity/detail/folding-parabolas
