Curated OER
Reflections of a Linear Function
Students reflect functions about the X-axis, Y-axis, and origin. They derive equations for reflected functions using the website www.explorelearning.com.
Curated OER
Patterns and Linear Functions
Students investigate the concept of a linear function. They use geoboards to find the interior angle sums. The sum of the angles is found to equal 180 degrees. Students also investigate quadrilaterals.
