Activity Overview
Students will use discovery method to learn translating/dilating of all types of functions and use function notation and parent functions to write equations.
Before the Activity
Decide what type of parent equations students are to explore and hide the others in the activity file.
See translation-dilation.doc.
During the Activity
Make sure students are using a journal of some kind and write observation words then complete sentences for conclusions of the translations as well as correct function equations.
After the Activity
Have students pair up and do functionformtranslations.doc and complete the partner function paper activity. Travel around the room and help students when necessary.
For an assessment send the LearningCheck file translationfunctionform.edc and then collect and analyse class and go over with students using the slideshow.
