Quadratic Parabolas
by Anonymous
Change a and the vertex (p, q) to see how a parabola flips, widens, and shifts, then match the target curve.

About this app
Quadratic Parabolas is an interactive math practice app for exploring how the coefficient a and vertex coordinates change a quadratic graph. Learners adjust a in y = ax², move p and q in y = a(x−p)² + q, and complete missions by matching their parabola to dashed target curves.
Use cases
- Middle school students studying quadratic functions
- Teachers demonstrating parabola transformations
- Learners practicing opening direction and width
- Students exploring vertices and axes of symmetry
- Self-paced quadratic equation review
Features
- Interactive controls for changing a, p, and q
- Visualizes upward and downward opening parabolas
- Shows how |a| affects parabola width
- Practice missions for positioning vertices and axes of symmetry
- Target-matching exercises with dashed parabolas
- Reset and next-mission controls
