This cross-curricular math project is a great way to practice graphing absolute value functions while creating beautiful art! By stretching, reflecting, and translating the parent absolute value function, students will deepen their understanding of transformations.It is fun! Answer key provided.Instructions and adaption ideas provided.
This is an expanding bundle! These cross-curricular projects each focus on a different function. Once you buy the bundle you will have access to all of them! linearquadraticexponentiallogarithmicabsolute valueStudents will deepen their understanding of transforming those functions while creating beautiful art. Great for bulletin boards! Answer keys and extension ideas provided.
