Graphing Absolute Value Equations

Take graphing outside and make a giant coordinate plane to plot your human points. Young graphers are each given a coordinate for a particular shape and asked to make the geometrical shapes one by one. Those not plotted are to write down...

Transform your activity on transformations. Scholars investigate transformations, with particular emphasis on translations and dilations of the graphs of logarithmic and exponential functions. As part of this investigation, they examine...

Do the two-step and use coordinates to move your graph side to side with translations. By using the coordinates as the guide for the shifts, learners graph straight on the worksheet and compare their answers with the key. 

Budding mathematicians graph given functions, identify the asymptotes, graph absolute values, and write a table of points. This three-page worksheet contains 23 problems.

What is absolute value? What is an absolute value function? Emerging mathematicians solve equations containing variables inside an absolute value sign.  They graph each function on a coordinate plane and identify the maximum and minimum...

In this absolute value equations learning exercise, students solve absolute-value equations and inequalities. They graph answers on a number line. This one-page learning exercise contains 34 problems.

Can you solve an equation graphically? Absolutely! This Algebra II lesson makes the connection between solving an absolute value equation and graphing two functions. Graphing absolute value functions is presented through the process of...

Sal reviews absolute value equations by taking viewers through a careful and deliberate problem-solving process. Those who didn't thoroughly understand absolute value during class will appreciate Sal's steady and straightforward...

Create a shift in TV viewing habits. The interactive presents a cosine model of an individual's TV viewing habits during a year. Class members move the model to reflect given conditions. Finally, they determine key features from the...

Graph absolute value functions like f(x)=|x+3|+2. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.
