Lessons (1)

Introduces students to concepts of transformations.

Audiences: Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8, Grades 9-12

Primary Subjects: Algebra, Geometry

Related Topics: angles, cartesian coordinate, coordinate plane, coordinate system, dimension, distance, flips, geometry, glides, graph, hexagon, image, parallelogram, pattern, planes, polygon, pre-image, reflections, rotation, squares, symmetry, tessellations, transformation, translation, transpose, triangles

Activities (4)

Enter a set of data points, then derive a function to fit those points. Manipulate the function on a coordinate plane using slider bars. Learn how each constant and coefficient affects the resulting graph.

Audiences: Grades 6-8, Grades 9-12, Undergraduate

Primary Subjects: Algebra, Graphs, Modeling, Statistics, Trigonometry

Related Topics: algebra, cartesian coordinate, coordinate, coordinate plane, coordinate system, cosecant, cosine, cotangent, curve fitting, data plot, deviations, exponential, exponents, function properties, functions, graph, grouping, integers, intervals, inverse, linear equations, linear functions, logarithm, multiplication, parabola, polynomial, positive part of the operand, pre-calculus, range, secant, sine, slope, tangent, trigonometry

A more advanced version of Slope Slider, this activity allows the manipulation of the constants and coefficients in any function thereby encouraging the user to explore the effects on the graph of the function by changing those numbers.
