Original PromptMake an introduction to quadratic functions packet focused on basic vocabulary and features of graphs of parabolas. Do not include actual equations of quadratic functions.
This resource focuses on the essential vocabulary and graphical features of quadratic functions, specifically parabolas. It includes a word bank with key terms such as vertex, axis of symmetry, maximum, minimum, x-intercepts, and y-intercept. The document is structured in parts: first matching terms to their definitions, followed by guided practice where students identify and analyze features of given quadratic graphs. The guided practice includes example functions where students are tasked with finding vertices, axes of symmetry, and intercepts, along with a section for reasoning and independent practice focusing on understanding and analyzing features of parabolas. The resource culminates in self-reflection prompts to assess understanding of the vocabulary related to quadratic functions.
