• Graphing PolynomialsDownload- Use sliders to see the graphs of polynomails (up to 6th degree) Created by Cullen G.E. Stevens

• Transform FunctionsDownload- Use sliders transform a quadratic, an absolute value, and a square root fucntion simultaneously. Hide and show each function independently. Created by Cullen G.E. Stevens

• Investigating Quadratic Functions in Vertex Form. The student investigates the affects of changing values for a, h, and k. JavaScript Interactivity. Created by Robert Fant

• 

Investigating Quadratic Functions given the Vertex and some other point that the parabola goes through. The student calculates "a" and submits the function in vertex form, comparing their graph to the computer generated graph. JavaScript Interactivity. Created by Robert Fant
