Fun With Fractals

Perfect as a review guide, this worksheet provides a range of questions focusing on functions. Topics include composing functions, transformations, domains, and polynomials. Also included are corresponding worksheets focusing on other...

Build a solid understanding of trigonometric transformations through exploration. Learners work in teams to analyze the effects of different algebraic components on the graph of a sine function. 

What do you get when you cross piecewise functions with transformations?  An engaging lesson! The conclusion of a four-part series on the transformations of functions asks class members to apply transformations to piecewise...

Not all linear functions are linear transformations, only those that go through the origin. The third instructional activity in the 32-part unit proves that linear transformations are of the form f(x) = ax. The lesson plan takes another...

Don't stop with two-dimensional learning, go to the next dimension! Learners verify that 3x3 matrices represent linear transformations in the third dimension. Additionally, they verify the algebraic properties that extend to vector...

Understanding how functions transform is a key concept in mathematics. This introductory lesson makes a strong connection between the function, table, and graph when exploring transformations. While the resource uses absolute value...

Watch as a function becomes transformed one step at a time. The instructor begins with a parent function and analyzes the transformations applied to it. She methodically applies each one with a new graph until reaching the complete...

Your learners will dance in their seats as this talented drummer connects math to music in a short video clip. Clayton Cameron shows how math puts the "cool" in various genres of music, including jazz, hip-hop, pop,...

Clearly presented explanation of how logarithms and exponents work together, the properties of logarithms, the natural logarithm and the natural exponential functions, the common logarithm, changing the base, and real-world applications...

Examine an exponential growth model. Using a fractal, learners calculate the perimeters of each stage. When comparing the consecutive perimeters, a pattern emerges. They use the pattern to build an equation and make conclusions.
