Discrete vs Continuous - Graphic Organizer

Created by
Smith Math
This graphic organizer helps students understand the difference between discrete and continuous functions through various representations: graphs, tables, and equations. A real world example is given for each type of function to help illustrate the differences. Included in this product are: 1) Graphic Organizer pdf Sheets. There are two versions: one version with blanks for students to fill out, and a second “completed version” (i.e. no blanks) for simple reference. 2) An animated (and edita

Experience

I have been teaching high school math for 13 years in an urban classroom.

Teaching style

Beginning with the mindset that all students can learn math, even those who struggle with it, I have proceeded to tackle the tough question: How do I best organize my classroom and lessons to make this happen? The most natural teaching style for me is one characterized by efficiency and structure. I am always looking for ways to better explain concepts and clearer ways to organize complicated information.
