Function Transformer, Years 9–11
Students adjust the a, b, c and d parameters of y = a·f(bx + c) + d and see stretches, reflections and translations applied to six different base functions. The full interactive is available to licensed Education Universe users.
Years 9–11Explorer
Learning outcomes
- Describe the effect of each parameter on a graph.
- Distinguish stretches, reflections and translations.
- Apply transformations across different function families.
Teaching guidance
Ask students to predict and sketch the transformed graph before moving each slider.
