Algebra 1

• Module 4 Lesson 8 - Exploring the Symmetry in Graphs of Quadratic Functions
• ti-84 graphing calculator integration throughout the lesson.

Student Outcomes

• Students examine quadratic equations in two variables represented graphically on a coordinate plane, recognizing the symmetry of the graph.
• Students sketch graphs of quadratic functions as a symmetric curve with a highest or lowest point corresponding to its vertex and an axis of symmetry passing through the vertex.
• Students explore key features of graphs of quadratic functions:

1. x -intercept
2. y -intercepts
3. Vertex
4. Axis of Symmetry
5. Increasing and Decreasing Intervals
6. Negative and Positive Intervals
7. End Behavior
