PLEASE NOTE: WE HAD OUR OPENING MASS TODAY. THIS MEANS WE HAD A REVISED SCHEDULE FOR THE DAY. I HAVE ATTACHED A COPY OF THE SCHEDULE FOR THE DAY BELOW.
Welcome Mass Holy Family Church (Revised Schedule for the Day)
The class was shortened today so I told the students that I would start the lesson today and then would have continue it tomorrow if we ran out of time. Also, I told the students that I would take up the worksheet I gave the them yesterday titled “1.4 Exploring Transformations of Quadratic Functions Worksheet” (I will post a copy of the worksheet answers below for those students to check their answers that have already finished). I then began the lesson for today which was titled “1.5 Graphing Quadratic Functions by Using Transformations”. I went over the parent function y = x^2 and then looked at the vertex form of a quadratic y = a(x-h)^2 + k. We only had a chance to look at “h” and “k” and how they affect y = x^2. I told the students that tomorrow we would look at “a” and would complete the lesson. I told the students they had NO homework for tonight, except to finish yesterday’s worksheet if they hadn’t already.
Below you will find a copies of the handouts/worksheets that were distributed/assigned in today’s class.
