| Quick-Draw
Template
PDF
|
This
is not a single lesson, but a template to use for
practice and assessment throughout Algebra II. Teachers
may choose to use this template to create their own
equations for a specific function or for a review
of several functions. |
| Using
Apps to explore Transformations |
In
this lesson, students explore the characteristics of
transformations using the transform program in the Apps
menu on the TI 84 calculator. |
| Graphing
Absolute Value Functions
PDF
|
In
this lesson, students explore the graphs of absolute
value functions. They learn to use transformations to
graph vertical shifts, horizontal shifts, reflections,
and vertical stretches of y = |x|. |
| Graphing
Square Roots
PDF |
In
this lesson, students learn to graph the parent function
for square roots, . Then, they use their knowledge of
graphing by transformation to create a book that describes
the vertical stretch, the reflection, and the horizontal
and vertical shift transformations on this function. |
Graphing
Quadratic Functions
PDF |
In
this lesson, students explore the transformations of
the graph y = x2 using graphing calculator and simply
plotting points. Identifying the vertex and line of
symmetry is emphasized throughout the lesson. Students
have an opportunity to graph a quadratic function, given
the equation, and also to write the equation of a quadratic
function, given the graph of the function. |

McGraw
PDF
|
This
is not a single lesson, but a set of exercises to help
student become fluent in graphing linear, quadratic,
absolute value, and square root functions using transformations.
The worksheets can be used as a template to create more
exercises for the graphs of sine and cosine functions. |
Transformation
Matching Game
PDF
|
In
this lesson, students explore matching tables, graphs,
equations and words. They use their knowledge of plotting
points and transformations to make connections. As a
summary, students could write about their knowledge
of functions and transformations. |
