Function Graphing (Ch. 2 week 1)

General - This week we will be  our understanding of graphing different types of functions compared to their parent functions, describing those comparisons algebraically and using math vocabulary, and recognizing even and odd functions.   We will be using a graphing calculator lesson to understand those connections and you will get some feedback (in fact some sample student work with feedback will be posted on the website after Tuesday’s lesson.  The two main text sections this week are 2.2 and 2.1.
3 Key Graphing Process Goals
  • Numerically – Recognize and label key feature coordinates (usually 3-5) and show work using a table of values
  • Algebraically – Understanding from various forms of given function(s).                                     y = a (x – h)?+k       and where it will graph relative to parent function (translate, reflect, dilate, etc.) because of the given coefficients.
  • Verbally – Once you see the patterns, you need to build your math vocabulary to describe what is going on with each function

3 Key Products (All due the class after they are assigned)
·         Text HW  2.2 70/12-30  show given graphs with key features labeled, draw resulting diagrams using a different color pen.  See sample solutions to HW 2.2 on website for guidance about what level of detail is expected to earn a 4 for homework
  • Handout 2.2b – Backside of Transformations Handout (after receiving exit slip feedback)
·         HW 2.1   61/Practice 1-27,34
                                                                      Most likely will have a 2.1 – 2.2 quiz after Weds.

If you did poorly on the Ch. 1 Test, you are expected to make corrections to your exam , redo any missed or incomplete Ch. 1 homework and then see Mr. Steppen about a retake exam.
