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.
