Classroom Considerations
  • Resource assumes students are deft in functional notation
  • Work needs to be performed on separate paper, and may require cautioning learners against trying to fit tests between the problems
Pros
  • Clear examples, multiple problems of all types
  • Problems progress in complexity, allowing learners to scaffold concepts
  • Answer key provided
Cons
  • The directions are not clear that a function might not necessarily demonstrate one of the described symmetries
