Graphing Absolute Value

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

Sections Covered in Textbook:

6-7: Graphing Absolute Value Equations (pages 325-329)


Resources & Tutorials:

1)  Graphing Absolute Value Equations Introduction
2)  Shifting Absolute Value Graphs
3) Desmos Activity - Exploring Absolute Value (see Google Classroom for code)
