Function Faces: Function Transformation Activity
In this project, students will create a "face" with at least 8 different functions from 4 different function families. Students will use what they know about the shapes of basic function families, function transformations, and domain restrictions to graph their face on a TI graphing calculator. As students use trial and error to get their face "just right," they will begin to take ownership of the function transformations.
