This activity combines both algebraic and graphical representations of transformations of any parent graph. The students are required to view an algebraic equation, list its parent graph, describe its transformations, and then graphically represent the equation by showing both the parent graph and its final transformation. It is a very flexible activity that can be easily edited.
Before the Activity
Students should be familiar with parent graphs and transformations. This activity is designed to test their knowledge of transformations.
