Desmos Activity: Quadratic Functions 1: y = ax^2

In this graphing calculator activity, have your students explore quadratic functions of the form y = ax2. This Desmos template allows students to explore the effect of changes in the coefficient a on the graph of the parabola. A companion downloadable worksheet uses the graphing calculator template to explore the properties of these quadratic functions.

Desmos Activity: Quadratic Functions 1: y = ax^2 Quadratic Equations and Functions

Desmos Activity: Quadratic Functions 2: y = ax^2 + c

In this graphing calculator activity, have your students explore quadratic functions of the form y = ax2 + c. This Desmos template allows students to explore the effect of changes in the values of a and c on the graph of the parabola. A companion downloadable worksheet uses the graphing calculator template to explore the properties of these quadratic functions.

Desmos Activity: Quadratic Functions 2: y = ax^2 + c Quadratic Equations and Functions

Desmos Activity: Quadratic Functions 3: y = ax^2 + bx

In this graphing calculator activity, have your students explore quadratic functions of the form y = ax2 + bx. This Desmos template allows students to explore the effect of changes in the values of a and b on the graph of the parabola. A companion downloadable worksheet uses the graphing calculator template to explore the properties of these quadratic functions.

Desmos Activity: Quadratic Functions 3: y = ax^2 + bx Quadratic Equations and Functions

Desmos Activity: Quadratic Functions 4: y = ax^2 + bx + c

In this graphing calculator activity, have your students explore quadratic functions of the form y = ax2 + bx + c. This Desmos template allows students to explore the effect of changes in the values of a, b, and c on the graph of the parabola. A companion downloadable worksheet uses the graphing calculator template to explore the properties of these quadratic functions.

Desmos Algebra Video: Step Functions

In this video, students learn about step functions on a Desmos graphing calculator. They then go about using the functionality of Desmos to create a moving escalator with a figure standing on it. Your students will enjoy the abilities of Desmos; they'll learn about step functions; and they'll fun in the process.
