PLEASE NOTE: THE PREVIEW VERSION OF THIS PRODUCT IS THE ACTUAL "STUDENT VERSION" AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE ANSWERS TO THE PROBLEMS. THE "TEACHER VERSION" INCLUDES DETAILED ANSWERS TO ALL OF THE PROBLEMS FOR THE PROJECT.
This project involves the calculation, graphing and coloring of absolute value functions. I have my Algebra 2/Math 3/Precalculus students complete this project toward the end of the unit on absolute value functions.
A total of ten (10) absolute value functions require solution and graphing by the students. A series of calculation sheets are first completed by the students following by an overall absolute value equation summary table. This is followed by the completion of ten (10) "x-y" coordinate point tables by the students to facilitate their graphing of each of the functions. A minimum of three (3) "x-y" coordinate points (including the vertex coordinates) are required for the graphing part of the project. These points are then plotted for each of the 10 equations and a neat curve is drawn on the furnished graph grid for each equation. Finally the various sections formed by the intersecting lines of the plotted graphs are to be colored to provide a "stained glass effect" final product.
This project is organized to be completed by individual students; but teachers could have students work in pairs or teams as desired to complete the project. It usually takes two, 1 hour class periods to completely finish all parts of the activity; but the calculation and basic graphing parts of it can be completed in 1 class period, if desired, and the graph grid coloring part completed in a 2nd class period or assigned as homework.
This project package is an MS Word file and includes the following:
- 8- Part Project Description Section that includes:
- Part A - General Introduction
- Part B - Absolute Value Functions
- Part C - Common Vocabulary
- Part D - Absolute Value Curve Characteristics
- Part E - Basic Steps to Solve Absolute Value Functions or Equations
- Part F - Basic Steps to Graph Absolute Value Functions or Equations
- Part G - Project Specific Guidelines
- Appendix A - Student Worksheets
- Appendix B - Graph Grid
- Appendix C - Grading Rubric
- Appendix D - Teacher Answer Key Material including all completed calculation sheets, equation summary table, x-y coordinate point list, solution answers and graphs (uncolored and colored) for all parts of the activity
In addition two (2) sample colored graph grid examples are also included at the end of the project package. There are 26 total pages in the package. The native MS Word file is included in the event the teacher desires to make any modifications to the activity to suit her or his classroom purposes.
Other MS PPT products for 6th Grade, 7th Grade, 8th Grade, Math 1, Math 2, Math 3, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry and PreCalculus curriculum topics can be reviewed and purchased under my TpT page titled: "Priceless Math".
