Algebra, Algebra 2
Desmos Investigation on Exponential Functions in Vertex and Standard Form
This is an Investigation we do in Algebra 2 when first introduced to Exponential Functions.
First we look at it in Standard Form and just look at the difference between Growth and Decay and the a-value being the y-intercept to start.
Then we dive deeper into the Vertex Form.
At the End of each Investigation are multiple Exit Slip problems or practice Problems.
Please contact me if you have questions over abbreviations of NAGS

Desmos Investigation of the Quadratic Parent Funtion
I use this investigation when I first introduce the Vertex Form of a Quadratic.....(they have seen a similar one of these in the vertex/point-slope form investigation with a linear function)
After the investigation I go over the last page with them in describing the transformation/translation that the values are doing to the parent function

Linear-Quadratic-Exponential Parent Function Foldable
This is a foldable I use to first intro each parent function of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. These are the three functions that most Algebra 1 curriculum need to know. I put it in function notation but I have the students add in the y instead of f(x) and we are going over it. The domain that I use for both is {-4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4}.

Awards & shining teacher moments
First school I taught at was Twin Spruce Junior High in Gillette, WY and they were put on AYP before I got there and I was part of a team that turned it around in one year and were off of it after three years.
Second school I taught at was West Middle School in Liberal, KS and improved scores on Kansas State Assessments from 72% to 80% in one year.
Then I taught at South Middle School in Liberal, KS were I was given all the students that did not pass the Kansas State Assessment the year before. At the end of the year, of my students, 57% passed the test and 84% improved their scores from the previous year.
