Droodle Graphs
In this algebra activity, students graph piecewise functions, and circles using restrictions. They graph a line and chop it on both ends to create a stair case looking graph or a ladder. There are 3 involve questions with an answer key.
Balanced Assessment
Postcards from the Falls
Pupils use graphs to analyze two pricing schemes for postcards. After determining which is the best deal, individuals determine what is wrong with the other pricing structures and explain their thinking.
