Quadratic Movers
'7 videos - 7 moving quadratic graphs. Reproduce these graphs from the basic parabola'
The equation of the simplest parabola is y = x². Easy so far? The graphs in this activity move! Click play on the video below. How do you do that? That is the crux of this activity: to reproduce the videos of some dynamic quadratic graphs. Some move up and down, others from left to right, in and out, etc. Use dynamic graphing software to do the same.
The following screencast is an example of the the type of question in this activity. Could you reproduce it?
Warm-up - Quadratic Hunt. Here are six quadratic graphs to reproduce and find the equations of.
The main activity consists of 7 videos of dynamic quadratic graphs to reproduce.
