A great group activity to practice connecting the graph, equation, and descriptions of absolute value function translations. The activity includes 12 horizontal and vertical translations of absolute value functions. In groups, students will match the corresponding graph, equation, and translation description. The functions all include the same numbers (1, 3, and 4) so students have to pay close attention to the position and sign for each number. After completing the matching activity, there is

A short and sweet maze activity to practice checking solutions to equations. Students substitute the given value for x to determine whether it makes the equation true. Each question will lead to another until they reach the end of the maze.

A straight forward foldable to introduce graphing quadratic functions in standard form. Students will write the step-by-step process, graph the parent function, and graph three example problems. The back side is blank so the foldable can be glued into their notebooks.
