Unit 2 Plan Quadratic Functions
Unit 2 Plan Quadratic Functions
Learning Targets:
● Describe transformations of quadratic functions
● Write transformations of quadratic functions
Core Vocabulary:
● Quadratic Function
● Parabola
● Vertex of a parabola
● Vertex Form
Needed to Solve:
1. Identify:
● Translations
● Reflections
● Stretches and Shrinks
2. Write:
● Translations
● Reflections
● Stretches and Shrinks
Previous Understanding: In the past, students have looked at increasing and decreasing functions. In this section,
students will explore symmetry of quadratic functions, and how to graph them using their symmetric properties.
Learning Targets:
● Explore properties of Parabolas
● Find maximum and minimum values of quadratic functions
● Graph quadratic functions using x-intercepts
● Solve real world problems
Core Vocabulary:
● Axis of Symmetry
● Standard Form
● Minimum/Maximum Value
● Intercept Form
Needed to Solve:
1. Axis of Symmetry
2. Standard form to Vertex form of a function
3. Graphing in
a. Standard form
b. Vertex form
4. Maximum and Minimum Values
Previous Understanding: In the previous chapter, we explored linear modeling. This will be an extension. Instead of
identifying the slope and intercept, they will identify the vertex and the stretch/shrink of the graph.
Learning Targets:
● Write equations of quadratic functions using vertices, points, and x-intercepts.
● Write quadratic equations to model data sets
Core Vocabulary:
● Average rate of change
● System of three linear equations
Needed to Solve:
● How to write quadratic equations given information
● How to model quadratic equations given points using technology
