Show your class members that if they can graph a linear function, they can graph an absolute value function. Groups create an absolute value graph using a table, then entertain the idea of an absolute value function defined as two...

Step up to learn about step functions. The lesson, designed for high schoolers, first covers piecewise functions and how to draw their graphs. It then introduces step functions, including the greatest integer (floor) and...

Algebra II classes solve problems relating to piecewise functions, step functions, and decomposition/composition of functions. They utilize links to work with real world examples. Mr. Pleacher has added humor to the lesson by including...

Students graph step functions (for example, the greatest integer function), and then form the inverse function of given function. They also graph piece-wise defined functions and explain step-by-step the process. Finally, students define...

In this functions worksheet, students explore the graphs of fifteen parent functions.  This worksheet is meant as a reference for students.

For this domain and range worksheet, students examine functions and identify the range of a function.  They find the maximum and minimum value of a function.  This two-page worksheet contains 7 multiple-choice problems. ...

Have fun while your class creates a timeline of their lives. They record events before and after they were born on a line with 10 integer pairs consisting of one integer on each side of zero. Many extension activities can be done in...
