Reflections of Quadratic Graphs
Students will apply reflections across the x-axis to quadratic graphs and sketch the resulting graphs.
Key Questions
- How does multiplying a quadratic function by -1 affect its graph?
- What is the effect of reflecting a quadratic graph across the x-axis?
- How does the turning point change after a reflection across the x-axis?

Planning templates for Mathematics
5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
