Reviewer Comments:
This unit on Algebra II is only partially populated. There are exercises on a few (5) topics. Many topics are missing, and even topics covered are mostly represented by exercises, not lessons. The exercises are by and large excellent. But this unit must be fully populated before it can live up to its potential.
Students will find equations of parabolas from three points on the parabola, and then study what happens to the parabola when one of the points is changed slightly.
Students will graph various parabolas and compare the graphs to the parabola y = x^2 . They will determine what type of transformation each parabola undergoes to better understand parabolic equations.
