This is a review of the foundations of functions for Algebra 1 or Algebra 2 courses. I used this as a review of the first week of class for my Algebra 2 students. Student are given an equation, graph or table of values and asked to find the other three. They also find key characteristics such as domain, range, intervals of increasing and decreasing, parent functions, transformations, x and y intercepts and state if the function has a maximum or minimum value.

Each group of students is given one equation, one table of values and one graph. For each of the three situations student have to complete a poster of all information they can give about the function given. The teacher guide give leading questions to help students think and answer deeper questions about quadratic equations. I used this in my class as a review before their exam on quadratic functions.

This activity is designed to show students a visual representation of linear inequalities. Students have to use ideas of Revenue, Cost and Profit to discover combinations that will meet the criteria set. Students work in groups then share out as a class.
