Describing Function Rules and Writing Functions

Grow an equation for the exponential graph. Given a graph of an exponential function, class members write the equation of the function provided. The graph labels two points on the graph: the y-intercept and the point where x is one.

Keep your mathematicians engaged using this group linear functions activity. Each of ten groups receives two graphs with both an image and equation, as well as a "who has" phrase to call out the next graph. Scholars stay on their toes as...

Function machines are a great way to introduce the topic of functions to your class. Here, you will explore the input and output to functions both using numerical and non-numerical data. Learners are encouraged to play with different...

Class members learn how to evaluate derivatives of functions using the Chain Rule through a video that shows the steps of finding a derivative with the Chain Rule. The two examples include both a trigonometric and polynomial function.

One in, one out is what functions are about in a video explaining the rules and qualities of these relationships. Have your learners practice with ordered pairs, tables, mapping, and graphs, deciphering whether or not those relationships...

This short video looks at different points on a coordinate plane and answers a question about whether these points could represent a function. The answer is determined by looking at each point individually to determine whether, given a...

Trig provides assistance in finding the derivatives of hyperbolic functions. The presentation provides an example of finding the derivative involving hyperbolic functions. Using the chain rule, the video finds the derivative of a...

Watch as a function machine converts an input to an output. Learners determine the work applied by the function machine to write a function rule. Questions accompany the function machine animation to guide individuals to conclusions.

Pupils draw the graph of a door opening and closing over time. They graph a given function on their calculators, create a table of values and interpret the results by telling if the door is opening or closing and evaluate the average...

Does the point continually move along the graph? Pupils drag a line across two functions to determine whether they are continuous or not. They answer questions about the properties of continuous and discontinuous functions. Using their...
