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...

New ReviewLet'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...

New ReviewIntersections become solutions. Scholars watch a video on using a graphing calculator to find the solution to an equation in one variable. While watching the presentation, pupils practice working some of the examples and compare their...

Here's a powerful video to review cubic functions. Scholars watch a video that first explains what cubic functions are. They then see how to graph the functions by hand using tables of values.

The opposite operations in the opposite order create the inverse of a function. A video demonstration explains the algebraic steps in creating inverse functions from different types of functions. The examples include linear, rational,...

Don't lose the chance to use the task. Given three diagrams of curved pieces of wires, young mathematicians must explain whether it's possible to conclusively match the wires as representing cubic, exponential, or quadratic functions....

Combine geometry and algebra concepts to solve a modeling problem. Young scholars consider the effect surface area has on volume. They write a cubic function to model the possible volume given a specific surface area and then determine...

Take a dive into a three-dimensional task. Given a specific surface area, individuals must maximize the volume of a cylindrical swimming pool. They combine their understanding of surface area and volume to create a cubic function that...

Piece by piece ... dismantling a function can highlight interesting patterns. The task asks learners to slice functions in sections with the same vertical change. They then recreate the graph with these slices positioned horizontally....

Real life isn't perfect, so don't expect a function to perfectly fit real-world data. Given some data on a practical situation, scholars plot it on a coordinate plane. They then identify the type of function that would best fit the graph.

They say it runs in the family. Small groups use a card sorting activity to group graphs of functions into families. After grouping by families, the class develops conclusions for parent functions and create a graphic organizer.

Can you determine a function's graph without actually graphing the function? Scholars learn to identify the shape of the graphs of different function types based solely on their equations. They also study the symmetry of graphs.

There's zero reason not to use a helpful resource. Individuals use zeros to graph a cubic function on a coordinate plane. First, though, they must find the zeros from the factored form of the equation.

Assess learners' ability to find zeros without using technology. Given the equations of two cubic functions, scholars determine the zeros of the functions. They use factoring to find the zeros and relate them to x-intercepts of the graphs.

Models make math manageable. Individuals investigate a cubic function that models the volume of a cube through the interactive.

Take a closer look at continuous functions within given intervals. Using the parent cubic function, learners explore properties of continuous functions on intervals. Pupils interpret the Intermediate Value Theorem and the Extreme Value...

Finding solutions is easy when you're given a graph. Future mathematicians graphically determine the x-coordinates of the intersections of a linear function and a cubic function. They interpret these values as the solutions to the...

According to mathematics, raindrops should not exist! The video narrator explains the mathematics behind the surface area and volume of a spherical raindrop. By examining the energy of creating the raindrop, he shows how creating one is...
