This project is designed for students in Algebra II or Pre-Calc who have just learned or reviewed: Functions, graphs, domain/range, intercepts, and critical points. This is a 2 day project in which students work in groups. Each group receives a function and one sentence explaining the real-world context of that function. They graph their given function using a graphing calculator or Desmos, and analyze the function. Once the function analysis is complete and satisfactory, students create a p

Two anchor charts for Transformations of Functions! First One:Basic landscape Shows the basic structure of a function and the transformation placements along with explanations of each transformations.Second One:Includes a smaller version of the basic structure and explanations from the first one.Includes color coded transformation placements for all major parent functions: linear, absolute value, quadratic, cubic, square root, cube root, reciprocal, and exponential.Back side: includes written re

This worksheet includes 16 different practice problems for evaluating functions. #1-8 ask students to evaluate at a given real integer value. #9-16 ask students to plug in negative numbers, variables, and expressions to functions. Answer Key (with work shown) included!This is a great packet to assign when you have a sub, a half day, when you're assessing skill levels in September, or when students need extra practice with this skill.

Transformations of Parent Functions! This short packet includes eight different functions. Students have to determine the parent function, list the transformations that take place to the parent function, and graph the given function on a plane. This is a wonderful resource for sub plans, extra practice, or homework. This is the sort of topic that students need some amount of repetition with prior to an assessment, and this will let you gauge their level of understanding. Answer key (including
