students must factor equations in standard form to find the zeros. They must then find the vertex and plot it. has step-by-step numbered directions to guide them through this as well as worked examples.

Includes a detailed description of parallel and perpendicular lines with several worked examples. Scaffolds students through the process by taking them through each step. Students must visually identify line relationships, as well as from the equations identify the relationship. They must write their own examples of perpendicular and parallel lines.

Includes introduction to quadratic equations in standard form. Guides students through identifying a, b, and c, how to determine a sketch of the graph, and how to calculate the vertex. Asks students to identify the vertex from graphs and whether or not they are minimums or maximums.

introduces students to vertex form includes notes on what you can determine from the leading coefficient, how to find the vertex, and how to determine if there is a vertical stretch or compression. asks students to determine if equations are in vertex form, standard form, or neither. to be used as a pre-requisite for graphing quadratic equations in vertex form.

Finding zeros or x-intercepts by factoring

step by step directions for graphing equations in vertex form. allows students to work through problems independently by following clearly numbered steps and a clearly worked example. students identify a, h, and k, decide if the parabola opens up or down, calculate the vertex and two other points appropriately sized grids included

includes step by step directions for how to find the vertex and two more points of a quadratic equation, given in standard form. Has worked examples with each step numbered to guide students through the process.

Includes step-by-step directions for writing a linear equation given two points. Can be used as a handout or for independent student work. Includes worked examples.

Asks students to write the equation that is parallel to a given equation and passes through a given point. Asks students to write the equation that is perpendicular to a given equation and passes through a given point. Has worked examples.

Includes step-by-step directions for identifying the slope and y intercept of an equation and using them to graph. Has blanks specifically for each part of the equation to scaffold students to being able to graph from a given equation.
