Graphing Rational Functions Teacher Resources

Put everything together in a picture. Scholars take what they learned in the previous three lessons in the 15th segment of a 23-part unit to graph rational functions. They find the end behavior, the horizontal and vertical asymptotes if...

Extending his asymptotes lesson from the previous video, Sal shows viewers another example of graphing rational functions. This video is shorter than the previous one and could be shown in a single class session.

In this graphing rational functions worksheet, students answer 18 multiple choice problems about rational functions.  Students determine values for a which a function is undefined given the equation of the function.

The slider feature on Desmos excellently shows how graphs change based on different variable values. Learners look at two similar rational functions and compare and discuss what happens when the numbers go from positive to zero to...

Explore rational functions with this packet. A lot of information is provided, including several examples. Learners graph rational functions and find vertical, horizontal, and oblique asymptotes. This seven-page worksheet contains...

Sometimes graphing rational functions can feel a little "irrational." Starting with the basics, learners work their way through the pieces of these graphs and finish off with an application question. 

Learners complete an activity, included, of the information on asymptotes and intercepts. They also solve and complete eight questions on graphing rational functions, file included. Finally, pupils summarize vertical asymptotes,...

In this algebra worksheet, 11th graders graph rational functions. They identify the asymptote, discontinuity, holes and vertex. There are 14 questions with an answer key.

In this Algebra II worksheet, 11th graders graph rational functions and use the graph to solve real-life problems. The four page worksheet contains forty-one problems. Answers are not provided.

Move all rational functions—well, maybe. Learners investigate the graphs of the reciprocals of power functions to determine a pattern between the graph and the power. Pupils graph rational functions where transformations are clearly...

This instructional activity looks at rational polynomial functions and their graphs. These activities will look into the function's zeros, and horizontal and vertical asymptotes. It contains a number of interesting critical thinking...

Using this worksheet, pupils graph 11 simple rational functions. They also find asymptotes, domain, and range for each function. The solutions are provided.

In this rational function worksheet, students identify the vertical and horizontal asymptote for each rational function. They graph rational functions. This one-page worksheet contains five problems.

High schoolers graph functions on their graphing calculators. They follow step-by-step directions to enter rational functions onto their calculators and then graph them. The worksheet includes nine questions.

Mathematicians explore number values by completing a fraction activity in class. In this data graphing lesson, students identify the term rational function and practice converting them into graphs. Then they check their work with the...

Budding mathematicians graph given functions, identify the asymptotes, graph absolute values, and write a table of points. This three-page learning exercise contains 23 problems.

Take your kids on a tour of graphing rational functions. Using this TI lesson, high schoolers identify the end behavior of their functions. They find the domain and range, describe end behavior, and look at asymptotes and restrictions of...

Where do those asymptotes come from? Learners graph, simplify, and solve rational functions in the fifth module of a 10-part series. Beginning with graphing, pupils determine the key characteristics of the graphs including an in-depth...

Running out of logarithm questions in class? The nicely organized two-page worksheet provides practice in rational, logarithmic, and exponential functions. All the topics include graphing, solving, and finding domain and range. 

Graph that function! Learners explore how the shape of a graph relates to the function the graph describes. The lesson uses teamwork and Function Journals to reinforce new mathematical vocabulary.

No laundry or cooking dinner here: these parent functions are all about math. Every graph you could think of from basic linear functions to the hyperbolic arccotangent function are included. With 40 parent functions, the worksheet can be...
