Young mathematicians explore transformations of graphs by graphing sets of functions on the same pair of axes. They use their graphs to determine the effect that the values of a and b in y = ax + b have on the graph of y = x.

Concepts

• Note that the parent function is y = x for all parts of the lesson

Pros

• Includes several assessment options

Cons

• No student materials
