This is a matching activity for polynomial graphing. Students must match a polynomial equation to its graph using knowledge of end behavior and root multiplicity.

This is a handout for Algebra 2 students that highlights parabolas and all of their properties. It includes domain, range, intercepts, increasing/decreasing intervals, min/max, axis of symmetry, vertex, focus, directrix, and examples of each form. This is intended to be used as a study aid during the parabola unit.

This exercise covers the graphs and properties of parabolas written in vertex form, standard form, and intercept form. It is intended for Algebra 2 students, but will work for any course that studies conic sections.

This exercise is designed to walk students through the discovery of the function transformation rules. It is part of both the Common Core Algebra 1, and Algebra 2 courses. The only prior knowledge that is required is to be able to evaluate absolute values. A lesson formalizing the function transformation rules should follow this exercise.
