Description
I wrote this circuit because I was inspired by an AP colleague's circuit on using tables for calculus problems involving the derivative and the integral. I started thinking, "Precalculus and accelerated algebra 2 students could use practice with this idea before WHAMMO! they see it in calculus."
This circuit has 16 questions where students must perform operations with functions (e.g. f(2) - g(5)) by pulling values from a given table. There are a variety of problems from trig to exponential to square root; two questions involving inverses, questions involving composition of functions, and a rational function where students must find the x-value for which the function is undefined.
All problems can be worked without a calculator.
I have an algebra one/two level using tables circuit: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Circuit-Training-Using-Tables-algebra-2559867
There is no answer key included with this circuit since the answers are imbedded in the circuit; it is how students move from one question to the next. My colleagues and I check our circuits very carefully, however, if you find a mistake or get stuck, please do not hesitate to email me at virginia.cornelius@gocommodores.org.

I really like this activity. It summarized up a lot of what they've worked on this year in AP pre-calc. We used it as a bit of review and as a warm up for them. They worked on it for 5 minutes per day over the course of a few days. They followed the format and were able to find the correct solution to move on.
Thanks for your feedback!
Excellent resource and a great way to introduce students to "chart" problems!
Thanks!!
My students loved this circuit and we did something similar with graphs too.
Great!
Great resource!
Thank you!!
Fabulous as always!
Thank you!
This really helped my students
Thanks!
Really useful and fun activity for review.
Thanks!
Love the idea of introducing this format to pre-calc students. Very Thoughtful.
Thanks! I have an algebra one for sale if you want to look into purchasing it. Perfect for algebra one or algebra two.
