This is a great unit that covers a Piecewise-Defined Functions unit in an Algebra 1 course! 5 lessons are included!

Documents are EDITABLE!

Included:

- Overview of the common core alignment (PDF)

- Guided notes for 5 lessons (PDF and Word)

- PowerPoints that coordinate with the guided notes (PPTX)

- Mid-Unit Quiz (PDF and Word)

- Unit Test (PDF and Word)

- Pacing Guide (PDF and Word)

Each lesson contains a learning scale, warm up (do-now or bell ringer), key concepts, vocabulary, and examples for students to follow with their guided notes. Each lesson is aligned with the common core state standards. The lessons are 30 - 45 minutes each.

Topics included are:

Understanding Piecewise-Defined Functions

Step Functions

Graphing Absolute Value Functions

Absolute Value Equations

Absolute Value Inequalities

Unit Essential Questions:

How are piecewise-defined functions different from other functions?

What are the effects of parameter changes on the graph of y = a⎜x – h⎟ + k?

How can you solve an absolute value equation or inequality?
