Exploring Quadratic Graphs - Concept

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Show your class how to use properties to make graphing easier with a resource that explores the graphs of quadratics. Using tables to determine the points to graph, pupils discover the symmetry of parabolas in order to short cut the graph. As the problems continue, the resource reveals more and more shortcuts, allowing for a steady progression of material.
