Function Notation Teacher Resources

A simple definition of f(x), function notation.

Using a TI-Nspire calculator, learners will work to better understand function notation and input/output functions. They write equations with a function symbols, identify what makes an equation a function, and graph lines in order to...

A simple definition of f(x). Function notation.

Show learners that function notation and multiplication notation are not the same. In the example, Katie is given a function, C(x), which is the cost of producing x amount of DVDs. Ask learners if Katie can divide the function notation,...

Time for a shift in thinking! Learners examine translations of linear functions. They use function notation to describe the translation and make connections to the graph.

Don't waste the opportunity to learn about function notation. An illuminating video provides pupils with an example of how to use function notation in a real-world context. Given information about the number of people in a city and the...

Function, function, what is your notation. Introduce your class to function notation with a video that shows examples of how to evaluate functions at numerical values along with algebraic values. The last example shows pupils how they...

Your vegetable eaters will practice function notation statement interpretation in this short task. These few exercises will bring out misconceptions students may have about function notation as well.

Introduce the basics of evaluating a function using function notation with a video that makes connections between evaluating a function and substituting into an expression. The short presentation works through three examples of...

Apply the video to learn about applications of function notation. Viewers of an educational video see an example of how to use formulas written in function notation in real-life situations and how to interpret function notation. They...

What function does function notation have? Scholars learn how to evaluate functions and understand how to interpret function notation by watching an informative video. They also see how to write solutions in ordered pairs.

Note the function notation. Learners watch a short video that provides a primer in function notation. They see how to apply function notation for points given as ordered pairs, as a table of values, or as a graph, and how to interpret...

Learners practice using their knowledge of how to interpret a function and use function notation. The activity includes two questions. Given an input of a function and its output, the first question asks learners to write the ordered...

Learners investigate trigonometric function.  In this Algebra II lesson, students explore functional notation and transformational graphing of trigonometric functions. 

Your texters will enjoy assessing their knowledge of function notation in this simple set of exercises. They will also interpret function notation in terms of the given context.

The old plug and chug method will help the class investigate functional notation. They explore the meaning of functional notation, f(x), and determine the functional value of given values. The lesson includes two application problems and...

Those graphing calculators can be tricky; good thing Texas Instruments has devised a lesson on how to use their TI-Nspire calculator to graph functions. Kids investigate functional notation as they graph ordered pairs in the form (a,...

Evaluate your ability to evaluate functions. Watching an instructional video helps scholars review how to evaluate functions. The video includes examples involving linear functions, quadratic functions, and constant functions.

Eighth and ninth graders add, subtract, multiply and divide functions as directed. Each problem is written in function notation, and the operation is shown in the same way. For example, pupils may be directed to find (f+g)(x). They are...

What makes a function a function? Learn the criteria for a relation defined as a function both numerically and graphically. Once young mathematicians define a function, they use function notation to evaluate it.
