Graphing Quadratic Functions Teacher Resources

No suspension here, the resource is good to go. Using graphing calculators, scholars explore how transformations affect the graphs of quadratic functions. They consider how the changes relate to the context of suspension bridges.

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders solve quadratic functions using the quadratic formula. They take the square roots of both side of each equation then graph both the linear and quadratic functions. There are a total of 84 problems...

Students identify the maxima and minima of quadratic functions. After a teacher explanation and demonstration of quadratic functions, students solve quadratic equations and graph the solution to find the maxima and minima of each...

Eleventh graders investigate inverse functions.  In this Algebra II lesson, 11th graders use their prior knowledge of linear, exponential,and quadratic functions to create a graph of an equation they have never seen before.

Challenge your students' graphing and factoring skills with these sets of problems for quadratic functions and equations. Here, students plot the y-intercept and vertex of 7 parabolas. They factor and solve 9 quadratic equations....

In this math worksheet, students investigate the quadratic functions. They solve the word problems while writing the new algebra expressions.

For this linear and quadratic function worksheet, students examine and solve a system of equations. They graph each function on a coordinate plane. This one-page worksheet contains ten problems.

Young mathematicians first graph a series of quadratic equations, and then investigate how various parts of the equation change the graph of the function in a predictable way.

Curve through the points. The resource, created as a review for the General Certificate of Secondary Education Math test, gives scholars the opportunity to refresh their quadratic graphing skills. Pupils fill out function tables to...

Students solve quadratic functions. In this solving quadratic functions lesson plan, students determine the height of an object at a given time. Students determine the time at which an object hits the ground. Students answer questions...

Save the time creating an assessment because these function problems should do the trick. With 10 multi-part questions, they each focus on a different topic including radical, polynomial, linear and piecewise functions. The majority of...

Instead of the typical quadratic questioning, explore the function and look at the three different ways a parabola can be written. The main task is when given several clues, young mathematicians must write an equation that matches the...

Watch this video and find out how to graph a quadratic equation when it's in intercept form! After going through the different forms of quadratic equations, an instructor leads viewers through an example problem. For the example problem,...

Ever sigh when learners ask why they have to know so many different forms of the quadratic equation? Here is a lesson that comes in handy! Using hands-on matching activities, quadratic equations are explored through...

There are many ways to solve a quadratic equation. Let's check out how to solve a quadratic equation by graphing. But first, let's find the axis of symmetry and the vertex before making a table of values. Write the values as ordered...

Collaborative groups utilize their knowledge of parent functions and transformations to determine the equations associated with graphs. The graph is then related to the scenario it represents. 

One of the many methods of solving quadratic equations is graphing. A video lesson first demonstrates graphing a quadratic function using an input-output table. After graphing the parabola, the instructor makes the connection between the...

Quadratics only have three terms, but each one is fairly important. Scholars use an interactive to explore how each coefficient affects the graph of a quadratic function. They also see how changes to the vertex form and how changes to...

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...

Show your pupils that perimeter is linear and area is quadratic in nature with a short assessment task that requests learners to connect the graph and equation to a description about perimeter or area. Scholars then provide a...

Students graph exponential equations of the form y=Ma. They understand the effects of M, a, and k on the graph. They solve application problems using exponential functions.

Students use a table, graph or equation to represent a quadratic function. In this algebra lesson, students model and graph with quadratic function. They become comfortable representing quadratics using different methods.

Why is that graph wider? Pupils learn about stretching and shrinking graphs of square root, absolute value, cubic, and quadratic functions. They study both vertical and horizontal stretches and shrinks in addition to reflections. 

Graphs can be just as useful as equations. Given the graph of a quadratic function modeling the height of a rocket, scholars learn to interpret the graph. They identify the input and output variables, interpret statements involving...
