Exercise Set 2.6: An Introduction to Functions

Introducing inverse functions! The 20th installment of a 35-part lesson plan encourages scholars to learn the definition of inverse functions and how to find them. The lesson plan considers all types of functions, not just exponential...

Put on your thinking caps because middle school math has never been more interesting in this huge resource full of thought provoking questions. Written as a newsletter, the resource has 10 two-page newsletters with a variety of...

Have some fun with functions with a short activity that asks learners to first sort scatter plot in terms of their correlation. They then sort graphs of different types of functions in terms of key features, such as slope.

Pupils determine equations that match the graphs of transformations and the parent quadratic function. The resource requires class members to attend to precision and think abstractly.

This video explores a listener's example of a function. You are given the composite function and one function, and you must find the other function.

This comprehensive introduction to rigid transformation of functions does a fabulous job of breaking down translations and reflections into manageable concept chunks. Care is taken with horizontal translations, vertical translations,...

One of the strongest tools an algebra learner develops is the ability to quickly and accurately graph almost any given function. Often doing this quickly and accurately requires rigid transformations to a parent function,...

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...

Exponents are number 34897 to the power of 0! The short video explains what a power function is. It also demonstrates how to identify the n portion in a standard, fraction, and square root example.

It's not a time machine—it's a function machine! Using two rules, the video introduces a function machine that changes an input to an output. Pupils answer questions such as finding what is the input for a given output and what values...
