This is a discovery activity for function transformations, including translations, reflections, and dilations. Students will use a graphing calculator or Desmos to explore different functions and look for relationships between the function and its parent function. This activity is a great introduction to transformations and allows students to discover and summarize function transformations for themselves instead of being fed information.
I used this discovery in my Honors Algebra II class after teaching parent functions and before exploring transformations. Students worked well in groups using this activity and seemed to have a true understanding instead of just memorizing information.
This product includes a discovery activity that is 2 pages long, along with the key to the activity. It also includes both a word document and pdf of the activity so you can print or edit as you please! Enjoy!!
