Square Root Functions Teacher Resources

Which function models the data best? Pupils work through several activities to model data with a variety of functions. Individuals begin by reviewing the shapes of the functions and finding functions that will fit plotted data points. By...

There's no sorting hat here. A high school assessment task prompts learners to analyze different types of functions. They investigate graphs, equations, tables, and verbal rules for four different functions.

Let's finish a functional review. Pupils work through 31 items to review the concepts learned in Unit 8. Scholars determine whether a mapping is a function and identify the domain and range. Using function notation, individuals then...

The isosceles triangle comes with its own set of properties. A lecturer shows how to apply the Isosceles Triangle Theorem to find missing side lengths or angle measures. The final example involves both square roots and quadratic...

A six-page test covers content from several different high school math courses. It incorporates a few short answer, graphing, and word problems. It also allows room for mathematical reasoning and analysis.

How does the chain rule work with the power rule? Using a radical function, the video shows how the chain rule works along with the power rule. The resource continues to simplify the derivative and places it in a familiar form. The...

Scholars apply knowledge learned over their high school math courses in order to determine their college readiness. The 20-page resource emphasizes applied problem solving.

Use a nine-page evaluation to cover material from algebra, geometry, and algebra II. It incorporates short answer, applied reasoning, and conversion problems. 

Learners solve complex radical equations. Solutions vary from one, two, and none, allowing pupils to gain experience solving a variety of problems.

Challenge high schoolers with a thorough math resource. The 20-page test incorporates questions from upper-level high school math in applied and higher order questions.

Students transform the square root function graphically.  In this transforming the square root function graphically lesson, students use their Ti-Nspire to change the a, b, and c values of th square root graph.  Students...

In this algebra worksheet, students graph square root functions. They use translation to move the graph around. There are 4 questions with an answer key.

In this limit problems learning exercise, students solve 28 limits problems.  Students find the limits of various functions as x approaches a certain number.  Students solve a sudoku puzzle with their answers.

In this domain and range instructional activity, students find the domain and range of 23 equations. Students find the domain and range from a graph and determine a graph given the domain and range.

Students, working on their GED, examine the steps used to resolve the unknown sides of a right triangle. They express the square root function as an exponential function and derive the distance formula using principles of geometry.

Sal spends most of this video explaining the Mean Value Theorem in a very intuitive way. He follows this with a concrete example of finding the value of a function on a closed interval where the slope is the same as the average slope of...

Is there a relationship between powers and roots? Here is a lesson that asks individuals to examine the graphical relationship. Pupils create a table of values and then graph a square root and quadratic equation. They repeat the process...

In this worksheet, students graph the square root and other radical functions by examining the parent function and the translations and shifts that occur within the function family. The two page worksheet contains twelve problems. 

Students perform functional analysis. In this pre-calculus instructional activity, students recognize the different elements of a function, graph a function and analyze it. They synthesize composites of other basic functions.

Students solve quadratic equations. In this algebra lesson, students factor and graph linear and quadratic functions. They identify the standard and linear form of each equation.

Students define a functions and solve problems using functions. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate functions from non-functions. They differentiate between polynomials of higher degrees.

students emulate a real world problem and model it with mathematics working in a small group. Observe and facilitate discussion as the groups use various strategies, such as (graphs, brainstorming, tables, and dialogue.

Students collect and organize data, make a scatterplot, fit a curve to the appropriate parent function, and interpret the results. Students translate among the various representations of the quadratic function, formulate equations, use a...
