3. Choose the labels CH P: Graphing Functions
4. Chose the labels for each of your group members.


Task 2: Individual

Using your gmail account, create and animate a Google presentation with the following slides. Each slide should have a caption.

Slide 0
Title of project. Include your "about me" character and your math class name on this slide.

Slide 1
Graphing Functions Project Instructions
See the Graphing Functions packet for more information.

For each of the 5 parent functions sketch and write the function in the following colors:

1. Parent Function - black
2. Vertical Translation - red
3. Horizontal Translation - blue
4. Vertical and Horizontal Translation - purple
5. Vertical Reflection - Green
6. Horizontal Reflection - Orange
7. Vertical and Horizontal Translation + Vertical Reflection -brown 8. Vertical and Horizontal Translation + Horizontal Reflection - black

Slide 2 - 6
All 5 pictures of your scanned graphed functions.

Slide 7
Choose one (or more) of parent functions and transformations you graphed on the Graphing Functions Project.

Write down the function(s) and describe what you did using mathematical vocabulary. The following words must be used correctly, and highlighted or boldfaced in your description.

function
transformation
translation
vertical
horizontal
reflection
x-axis
y-axis

Slide 8
Back to School Night Extra Credit - Scan your Parent's classwork into your blog. Write a few sentences about what you and your parents thought about learning transformations.
