Description
This editable lesson introduces the most common parent functions (linear, quadratic, absolute value, exponential, square root, and cubic) in a way that’s visual, organized, and easy to understand. This guided notes and worksheet set about parent functions and function families puts a unique and engaging spin on traditional guided notes with an interactive matching activity.
The scaffolded guided notes break down the topic of parent functions and function families into manageable chunks by providing clear explanations of key vocabulary terms with step-by-step examples. The accompanying worksheet gives students ample opportunities to gain confidence and apply their new skills through independent practice with a variety of problems. Students especially enjoy this editable, low-prep lesson when paired with individual whiteboards for quick, formative assessment.
The matching activity gives students the opportunity to explore and make connections with various types of parent functions, their equations, tables of values, and graphs individually, with a partner, or in small groups. Students will investigate the shape, key features, and equations of each parent function, to prepare for transformations, graph analysis, and real-world applications.
