1. The project requires students to graph the 13 parent functions and apply transformations to create child functions. 2. Students must complete a parent function foldable with information on all 13 functions and create a poster showing the graphs of each parent function and one example of a child function using a transformation. 3. The poster will be graded based on neatness, completeness of information and transformations, and visual appeal.

Student Name ___________________________________________________
Date _________________ Period _________________
Learning Objectives:
I can graph the 13 Parent Functions studied in Common Core Math 2.
I can apply transformations to the parent functions and graph.
Requirements:
1. Complete the parent function foldable. All parent function information must be complete and
accurate.
2. Create a poster to include the graph of each parent function and graph one child of the parent
function by applying a transformation to the parent function.
Example: f(x) = x2
and f(x) = 2(x – 5)2
-1
3. Include the equation and a written description of each transformation.
