Lesson Plan: Features of Quadratic Functions Mathematics

This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to identify the features of a quadratic function, such as its vertex, extrema, axis of symmetry, domain, and range.

Objectives

Students will be able to

  • find the key features of a quadratic equation from its equation or graph, including its intercepts, vertex, axis of symmetry, domain, and range,
  • understand that quadratics are symmetric in the vertical line through their vertex,
  • understand that the sign of the leading coefficient tells us the type of extrema that the quadratic function will have,
  • recall and apply the formula for the axis of symmetry using the coefficients of the quadratic.

Prerequisites

Students should already be familiar with

  • graphing quadratic functions,
  • sets,
  • the domain and range.

Exclusions

Students will not cover

  • solving quadratic equations graphically,
  • factoring,
  • the vertex form of a quadratic and completing the square.
