Students will use quadratic models to optimize the area of a field for a given perimeter. This is the Desmos treatment of a task that's as old as fields themselves. We emphasize estimation, construction, and formulation, in addition to the graphing and solution you find in traditional treatments.
Desmos activity which shows the differences between quadratic equations.
Desmos activity on transformations, domain and range.
Desmos activity graphing equations.
In this lesson, students will be able to: restrict, reposition, and resize parabolas at will using vertex form (y=a(x-h)2+k) and use precision in describing these transformations using words and/or symbols.
In this activity, students work through a series of scaffolded linear graphing challenges to develop their proficiency with direct variation, slope-intercept, point-slope, and other linear function forms.
Desmos activity that allows students to see where quadratic equations are equal to zero by their graph and table.
Interactive resources that allows the user to manipulate characteristics of a piecewise function to graph.
Interactive Desmos activity that explains how parabolas and quadratic equations are related.
Desmos tool using distance formula to calculate distances of figures.
In this activity, students explore various types of scatter plots and build their understanding of positive and negative associations, linear and nonlinear associations, and outliers.
Desmos Activity that challenges students to name the transformation and express it in function notation; requires technology.
Desmos activity discussing scale factor in relation to dilations; requires technology.
