Parabola Sketching Template - Math

Hi everyone,

This is a parabola sketching template designed to be a learning aid when teaching parabolas and quadratics.
It includes a:

• parabola

Designed using splines in Fusion360.

How do I use this as a teacher?

Students often struggle with remembering the shape of these fundamental functions. Each year I print out a template for each student and let them use it to draw these graphs. It's particularly useful when discussing translations and transformations as students can slide and flip the template as needed.

The + sign looking shapes are to help align the graphs with a grid.

I hope this helps! I would love to hear about how you all use it.

Thanks!
