Exploring Vertex Form of Quadratics

Students drag sliders that control the coefficients of the vertex form of a parabola. They will: 1. See the relationship between the coefficients and the transformations of the function, 2. See the relationship between the vertex of the parabola and vertex form, 3. Understand that "a" vertically stretches the parabola, "h" shifts the parabola horizontally, and "k" shifts the parabola vertically, and 4. Predict the equation, just by looking at the graph.
