Graphing Absolute Value Equations (7th Grade Only)

Topics for Today:

Today we continued our discussion of graphing absolute value functions through a DESMOS activity in class.  The purpose of the activity was to allow students to explore the various parts of an absolute value equation and to draw their own conclusions about how changing various pieces of the equation affects how the graph looks.  All of these variations are called translations.

Vocabulary: absolute value graph, translation, vertex
