This is a set of 12 stations/task cards on composition of functions. The focus here is on using multiple representations (equations, tables, graphs, and verbal descriptions) to evaluate f(g(a)). Students will need to read graphs and tables to evaluate a function. They will also need to write an equation from a verbal description (e.g. "h(x) is the result of translating the quadratic parent function 4 units to the right") in order to create one or both of the functions needed to evaluate the comp

These 14 task cards focus on the relationship between a function and its derivative in all representations (graph, table, word problem, and function rule). The meaning of the function vs the meaning of the derivative...what we learn from f(x) vs what we learn from f'(x). Students must know that the derivative function gives the slope of the tangent line (or the slope of the curve), but do not need to be able to compute derivatives. Answers are provided.
