Parabola Exploration
In this activity, students will use Desmos to explore the impact each part of the quadratic equation has on a graph.
1. Students will log into their previously created Desmos account and navigate to the Parabola Investigation activity.
2. Students should work their way through the activity, using the sliders to see the changes that occur in the parabolas.
3. All questions should be answered by taking screenshots of the graphs, printing them and gluing them in their Interactive Notebooks.
4. The last question should be written in their notebooks and answered with a minimum of five good sentences. Negative coefficients and their impacts should be addressed.
