Features of Functions

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Features of Functions unit plan also includes:

What are some basic features of functions? By looking at functions in graphs, tables, and equations, pupils compare them and find similarities and differences in general features. They use attributes such as intervals of increase/decrease, discrete/continuous, domain, range, and general type of function to make comparisons. Throughout the third unit in a nine-part series, individuals review linear and exponential functions.

Instructional Ideas
  • Provide opportunities for the class to match representations of functions to their descriptions
Classroom Considerations
  • Class members should know about sequences
  • The lessons follow a method in which the beginning of the lesson is a review of previously learned content
Pros
  • Includes a performance task as an end-of-unit assessment
  • Uses a variety of functions without the need to know the name of the function
Cons
  • None
