Absolute Value Functions Teacher Resources

In this analyzing solutions worksheet, students use Euler's Method to estimate the value of given functions. They estimate solutions using the piecewise-linear function model and sketch the information onto a graph. This two-page...

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders graph, parabolas, absolute value and cubic functions. They factor polynomials and simplify roots. There are 75 questions.

Using Wolframalpha graphing capabilites, algebra learners graph polynomials with degrees of three and larger. They identify the roots and graph each polynomial, predict zeros and shapes of graphs, and validate their understanding through...

In this Taylor polynomials and series worksheet, students identify a tangent line to a function and use the absolute value test to determine the values of x. This five-page worksheet contains four problems, plus explanations and examples.

I'll do algebra, but graphing is where I draw the line! Video explains how to find the slope of a line when starting with word problems. It includes positive and negative slopes as well as how to identify intercepts.

Introduce learners to independent and dependent variables with an informative video.The two variables are defined via inputs and outputs. It makes clear that the independent variable is the one that the person has control over,...

Mathematics is not a spectator sport. A video explains how to identify literal equations and why pupils will need to use them. It goes on to describe how to solve for a specified variable.

Tenth graders investigate three different sets of data that relate temperature to another variable in the physical world. These illustrate linear, inverse and exponential relationships.

Seventh graders develop an examineing of absolute value through real world situations. They develop an examineing of when absolute value can be used in a given situation.

Students, using a specified website, plot quadratic curves to distinguish how different values of a affect a graph. They investigate how the constant and the absolute value of a function affects the graph. They identify the parabola...

Students explore the concept of finding the area between two curves. In this finding the area between two curves instructional activity, students model the logos of McDonalds, Nike, and Motorola on grid paper. Students find functions to...

Students explore the concept of sine and cosine.  In this sine and cosine lesson, students work in groups to graph sine and cosine functions.  Students examine how coefficients in various parts of each parent function shift the...

For this algebra worksheet, 11th graders solve a variety of problems using linear and quadratic properties as they pertain to functions. There are 12 questions.

Eleventh graders study seven functions. They use their handheld calculator to determine which family of functions the equation belongs, the parent function described, and they calculate the vertical and horizontal translation.

Eleventh graders work in groups and investigate how force determines the speed and distance then they view the video, "Math Vantage #7: What's Your Angle?." They are given a real life problem to solve using speed, ramps, angle, incline...

Students solve problems of inequalities and equations. In this algebra lesson, students add, subtract, multiply and divide to solve inequalities. They graph their solutions on a number line.

If the flu outbreak continues, exams will have to be canceled. Investigate the properties of exponential and logarithmic functions. In this algebra lesson, students use the TI to examine and differentiate between exponential growth and...

Having a good working knowledge of math vocabulary is so important for learners as they progress through different levels of mathematical learning. Here is 125 pages worth of wonderfully constructed vocabulary and concept review cards....

Your learners combine their knowledge of real and imaginary numbers and matrices in an activity containing thirty lessons, two assessments (mid-module and end module), and their corresponding rubrics. Centered on complex numbers and...

There are many equations Algebra I young scholars are not ready to solve. Graphing to solve gives them a strategy to use when they are unsure of an algebraic approach to solve the problem. The lesson exposes learners to a wide...

When told to describe a line, do your pupils list its color, length, and which side is high or low? Use a learning exercise that engages scholars to properly label line graphs. It then requests two applied reasoning answers.

No matter how it is written, it still is a line. A video shows class members how to take points and write the equation of the line that goes through those points. It then outlines how to develop the equation whether...

Provide the definitions of parallel and perpendicular lines, as well as the relationships between their slopes. Two examples explain the process of finding the equation of either a perpendicular or parallel line to another line through a...

Young mathematicians extend their knowledge of rational numbers on a number line to graph inequalities by first using number cards to compare rational numbers. They finish by using similar reasoning to graph inequalities on a number line.
