Technology for Displaying Trigonometric Graph Behavior: Sine and Cosine
Young scholars explore the concept of sine and cosine. In this sine and cosine lesson, students work in groups to graph sine and cosine functions. Young scholars examine how coefficients in various parts of each parent function shift...
Curated OER
Vertical and Horizontal Translations
Eleventh graders study seven functions. They use their handheld calculator to determine which family of functions the equation belongs, the parent function described, and they calculate the vertical and horizontal translation.
Curated OER
Transforming Parabolas
In this Algebra II learning exercise, 11th graders examine the affects of changing h and k in the vertex form of the parabola. The three page learning exercise provides explanation of topic, worked examples, and four practice problems. ...
