Description
In this algebra game, students choose cards from 2 piles to learn if they will graph or write a function equation and also what the characteristics of the function should be. This activity is a great review of domain, range, increasing and decreasing.
In pile 1 (large functions cards):
On each card is written the name of a function (absolute value, radical or quadratic) and whether the students should graph the function or write its equation.
In pile 2 (small characteristics cards):
On each card is written characteristics of the graph to draw or the equation to write. Characteristics include range interval, increasing interval or decreasing interval.
Setup:
Each group of students should be given a set of both types of cards. Each individual student should be given a grid (in a plastic sheet protector with a dry erase marker, if you have these available) and an equation recording sheet. Grids and recording sheets are included in the download.
Each time a student in the group draws 2 cards (one from each pile), all students should complete the problem. This way they can check each other's work.
Once you feel students have gotten enough practice, there is a summary exercise. An answer key for the summary exercise is included so that you can award credit if you choose.
