Function Transformations Poster, Algebra 2 Anchor Chart Printable, Precalculus Classroom Decor, Parent Function Shifts Reference

Instant digital download. No physical item ships.

Every move you can make to a parent function on one sheet — shifts, stretches, compressions and both reflections — organised around the distinction students keep losing: what sits inside the parentheses acts on x and runs backwards, what sits outside acts on y and behaves the way you would expect.

The hero draws one curve three ways, so a shift and a stretch are visible side by side instead of described in words.

11 worked examples and formulas on this poster are re-derived by a computer algebra system before publication. If a check fails, the build fails and the file does not ship.
