Parent Functions Discovery Activity
Students are to use a graphing calculator, or graph a variety of functions by hand. On one graph they will graph different parent function and on the graph next to it, they will graph a transformation of the parent function.
Students will then summarize the differences in each graph using vocabulary like intercept, shift, rotated, flipped, ect. in order for them to discover what transformations occur and even guess WHY they occur based on the changes within the function's equation itself.

Teaching style
Discovery Based Learning is what my teaching preference is. Allowing students to take responsibility for their learning and guiding them through the process helps make the content "stick" better than presenting it through lecturing. They also enjoy the various activities and differentiation the DBAs allow.
