Description

This is a set of 4 graphs and 6 equations (10 total) used together to create an activity that has students finding function values of each. The activity which is similar to a scavenger hunt could be used as an exit ticket, warm-up activity, review, or as a race. Directions for uses are included as well as suggestions on how to use the graphs alone throughout a Functions unit.

Students are given a starting point such as f(3). They find the answer from the graph/function and then place that answer inside the next question. For example, if f(3) equals 2, then their next question might be to find g(2). The graphs and functions are posted around the room. The question document tells the student which function or graph to visit next (see preview for a sample).

There are 12 questions total with 6 different paths. (Every function is used once and one function is used twice on each path). Students should end up back at the same function that they started with when completed correctly. Teacher can check all of their work or just their final answer.

Functions are either linear or quadratic and don't involve more than two steps to find the answer (see preview). 13 pages total. Keys included for both graphs used alone and for activity. Have fun!

Loved how this was self-checking without it being obvious of what the next answer will be. Also, love the different starting points.

I used this activity with my students to practice evaluating functions and it worked great! The students were engaged and loved being able to walk around the class. I also loved that there were 6 different sheets so that not all students had the same questions.

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If š˜§ is a function and š˜¹ is an element of its domain, then š˜§(š˜¹) denotes the output of š˜§ corresponding to the input š˜¹. The graph of š˜§ is the graph of the equation š˜ŗ = š˜§(š˜¹).
Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a context.
Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. For example, if the function š˜©(š˜Æ) gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble š˜Æ engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.
