Summary: This is the teacher's page for the Translating a Quadratic Functions Module.

Teacher Page

Objective

Investigate vertical translations of a quadratic function and review quadratic functions

Prerequisite Knowledge

maximum/minimum value, axis of symmetry, discriminant, roots, average rate of change, and graph of a quadratic function; solve a quadratic equation

Material Needed

Module: Translating a Quadratic Function

Teacher Notes

The purpose of this lesson is to have students review what they know about quadratic functions while introducing the concept that the rate of change of a function does not change if the function is translated vertically. This idea will help students when they study slope fields.

Procedures

If the students have the prerequisite knowledge then this lesson can be used as a small group or individual activity. After completing the lesson, the class should discuss the different methods for solving each problem.

'My Favorites' is a special kind of lens which you can use to bookmark modules and collections directly in Connexions. 'My Favorites' can only be seen by you, and collections saved in 'My Favorites' can remember the last module you were on. You need a Connexions account to use 'My Favorites'.

Definition of a lens

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags? tag icon

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
