Formative Assessments

Name Description
Comparing Functions – Quadratic

Students are given the graph of f(x) = x2 and are asked to compare the graphs of five other quadratic functions to the graph of f.

Comparing Functions - Exponential

Students are asked to use technology to graph exponential functions and then to describe the effect on the graph of changing the parameters of the function.

Write the Equations

Students are given the graphs of three absolute values functions and are asked to write the equation of each.

Comparing Functions - Linear

Students are asked to compare the graphs of four different linear functions to the graph of f(x) = x.

Lesson Plans

Name Description
Ferris Wheel This lesson is intended to help you assess how well students are able to:
  • Model a periodic situation, the height of a person on a Ferris wheel, using trigonometric functions.
  • Interpret the constants a, b, c in the formula h = a + b cos ct in terms of the physical situation, where h is the height of the person above the ground and t is the elapsed time.
Representing Polynomials This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to translate between graphs and algebraic representations of polynomials. In particular, this unit aims to help you identify and assist students who have difficulties in recognizing the connection between the zeros of polynomials when suitable factorizations are available, and graphs of the functions defined by polynomials as well as recognizing the connection between transformations of the graphs and transformations of the functions obtained by replacing f(x) by f(x + k), f(x) + k, -f(x), f(-x).
Functions, Graphs, and Symmetry...Oh My!

This lesson plan includes transformations, domain, range, and symmetry for 5 different types of functions. Students will learn how to look at a function and determine what the graph will look like without plotting any points. Students will also be able to analyze the symmetry of functions algebraically.

Translating Quadratic Functions

In this lesson, students will investigate the changes to the graph of a quadratic function when the function is modified in four different ways by inclusion of an additive or multiplicative constant. Students will work in groups to graph quadratic functions, prepare a display of their functions, and determine how the modification affects the graph of the quadratic function. Then, students participate in a gallery walk, where members of each group will share their findings with a small group of students. At the end, there is a class discussion to see if everyone had similar findings and to solidify the knowledge of translating quadratic functions.

Graphing Lines

Allows students access to a Cartesian Coordinate System where linear equations can be graphed and details of the line and the slope can be observed.

Data Flyer

Using this virtual manipulative, students are able to graph a function and a set of ordered pairs on the same coordinate plane. The constants, coefficients, and exponents can be adjusted using slider bars, so the student can explore the affect on the graph as the function parameters are changed. Students can also examine the deviation of the data from the function. This activity includes supplemental materials, including background information about the topics covered, a description of how to use the application, and exploration questions for use with the java applet.

Function Matching

This is a graphing tool/activity for students to deepen their understanding of polynomial functions and their corresponding graphs. This tool is to be used in conjunction with a full lesson on graphing polynomial functions; it can be used either before an in depth lesson to prompt students to make inferences and connections between the coefficients in polynomial functions and their corresponding graphs, or as a practice tool after a lesson in graphing the polynomial functions.

Function Flyer

In this online tool, students input a function to create a graph where the constants, coefficients, and exponents can be adjusted by slider bars. This tool allows students to explore graphs of functions and how adjusting the numbers in the function affect the graph. Using tabs at the top of the page you can also access supplemental materials, including background information about the topics covered, a description of how to use the application, and exploration questions for use with the java applet.
