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...

If you know one, you know them all! Parent functions all handle translations the same. This lesson plan examines the quadratic, absolute value, and square root functions. Pupils discover the similarities in the behavior of the graphs...

Scholars first learn to graph square root and cube root functions by creating a table of values. They then learn how to graph functions from transformation of the graphs of the parent square root and cube root functions.

The road to a greater knowledge of functions lies in the informative resource. Young mathematicians first graph a square root function in a short performance task. They then use given descriptions of towns and the key features of the...

Intersections 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...

Examine key features of various functions through exploration. A comprehensive lesson has learners describe the domain, range, end behavior and increasing/decreasing intervals of various functions. Function types include linear,...

Need a real scenario to compare functions? This lesson has it all! Through application, individuals model using different types of functions. They analyze each in terms of the context using the key features of the graphs. 

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.

It might help when working with this resource to give an example of a composition function. For example, the amount of time it takes to get to work depends on the amount of traffic; the amount traffic depends on the time of day....

For this functions worksheet, students solve 40 short answer problems. Students determine if a graph represents a function. Students find the domain of absolute value and square root functions.

Don't think this lesson is for Mom and Dad; parent functions are all for your high schoolers. Flip through a presentation with a focus slide on each type of graph and its characteristics. Some examples are included but the...

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...

Join the family picnic and see how all the functions come together in a PowerPoint that highlights their main features. As it includes topics such as domain, range, and intercepts, the slides are a great guide to promote class...

Sometimes being different is an advantage. An engaging activity has scholars match cards with quadratic functions in various forms. Along the way, they learn about how each form highlights key features of quadratic functions.
