This resource focuses on exploring quadratic functions in standard form, particularly the equation y = ax² + bx + c. The learning objectives include helping students connect the mathematical equation with tables of values and graphs by identifying key features. Students will learn how to find the values of a, b, and c, determine the y-intercept, complete tables of values, and sketch parabolas based on these calculations. Key concepts related to the features of quadratic functions, such as the leading coefficient, constant term, and vertex, are highlighted. The resource includes guided and independent practice examples, such as converting equations to graphs, calculating the vertex, and using tables of values to plot points. Vocabulary definitions related to quadratics are also included to enhance conceptual understanding.
