Parent Functions and Transformations (Algebra 2 - Unit 3) | All Things Algebra®

The purpose of this unit is to provide the foundation for the parent functions, with a particular focus on the linear, absolute value, and quadratic function families. A chart is provided with all the parent functions that can be used throughout future units. This Parent Functions and Transformations Unit Bundle includes guided notes, homework assignments, three quizzes, a study guide and a unit test that cover the following topics:

• Piecewise Functions

• Graphing Absolute Value Functions and Inequalities by Table

• Parent Functions

• Transformations

• Vertex Form of an Absolute Value Equation; Graphing using Transformations

• Quadratic Functions Review: Parts of the Parabola, Axis of Symmetry, Vertex, Minimum, Maximum

• Graphing Quadratic Equations and Inequalities written in Standard Form

• Graphing Quadratic Equations and Inequalities written in Vertex Form

• Converting Quadratic Equations written in Standard Form to Vertex Form (Completing the Square)
• Increasing and Decreasing Intervals

• End Behavior

• Parent Functions Review - Linear, Absolute Value, and Quadratic. Identifying special characteristics including domain, range, number of zeros, end behavior, increasing/decreasing intervals
• Greatest Integer Function (Bonus Topic)

ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS INCLUDED:

(1) Links to Instructional Videos: Links to videos of each lesson in the unit are included. Videos were created by fellow teachers for their students using the guided notes and shared in March 2020 when schools closed with no notice.  Please watch through first before sharing with your students. Many teachers still use these in emergency substitute situations.

(2) Editable Assessments: Editable versions of each quiz and the unit test are included. PowerPoint is required to edit these files. Individual problems can be changed to create multiple versions of the assessment. The layout of the assessment itself is not editable. If your Equation Editor is incompatible with mine (I use MathType), simply delete my equation and insert your own.

(3) Google Slides Version of the PDF: The second page of the Video links document contains a link to a Google Slides version of the PDF. Each page is set to the background in Google Slides. There are no text boxes;  this is the PDF in Google Slides.  I am unable to do text boxes at this time but hope this saves you a step if you wish to use it in Slides instead! 

Please download the preview to see a sample outline along with a collage of some of the pages.
