Families of Functions

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Learners use sliders to change the parameters of functions and examine how shifting parameters affects a graph. They identify the parameters of functions, find vertical and horizontal stretches, then calculate the scale factor and other properties of functions. A table is used throughout the investigation to help learners track changes and make generalizations about the graph.
