Description

Level Ups are a fun way for your students to practice or review defining functions and comparing functions. Aligned to the common core standards, this Level Ups activity includes 5 differentiated tasks that increase in rigor. The task cards begin with pre-requisite skills involving identifying the slope and y-intercept of linear functions in different representations, then "level up" all the way to creating and comparing functions that are both linear and non-linear.

Students start at level zero and work their way up to level 4, giving them accurate feedback on what they have mastered, and what they still need to work on. This lesson works as a great way to review what is and is not a function, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.

This activity includes:

  • Suggested activity instructions (based on how I run this in my classroom).
  • Five levels with 6 - 11 questions each.
  • Complete answer keys for each level.

If you enjoy this activity, please check out my other Level Up products, or my Team Target Review series, which encourages group work and rich math discussion.

This resource allowed me to see where students were at in their learning by offering activities with multiple levels of difficulty. It also provided a good opportunity for students to review information they already knew. The answer key was very helpful.

This activity has transformed how my students practice defining and comparing functions! With five differentiated tasks that progress in difficulty, students receive immediate feedback on their mastery of concepts like slope and y-intercept. The structured approach not only engages them but also effectively prepares them for assessments—highly recommend it for any math classroom!

I am currently studying math for GMAT and I found this really helpful to go back and remember the basic fundamentals from high school math which I had forgotten. It was easy to use, very helpful! Thank you for sharing

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.
Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.
Interpret the equation 𝘺 = 𝘮𝘹 + 𝘣 as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function 𝘈 = 𝑠² giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight line.
