Instructional Ideas
  • Have the class create a function and find values that will make the linearity tests true
  • In preparation for the next lesson, organize groups to create a list of functions they believe are linear transformations
Classroom Considerations
  • Class members should be able to convert from radians to degrees and vice-versa
Pros
  • The answer key has possible solutions that the pupils may include in their responses
  • The teacher notes give suggestions on how to differentiate the assignments
Cons
