Interactivate: Standard Expectation

8 items total

Organization: Virginia Standards of Learning
Grade Band: Secondary
Standard Goal: Algebra II

The student will recognize multiple representations of functions (linear, quadratic, absolute value, step, and exponential functions) and convert between a graph, a table, and symbolic form. A transformational approach to graphing will be employed through the use of graphing calculators.

Functions and the Vertical Line Test	Lesson: Introduces students to the vertical line test for graphs of functions.
Introduction to Functions	Lesson: Introduces the basic ideas needed for understanding functions.
Reading Graphs	Lesson: Demonstrates the connections between formulas, graphs and words.
Conic Flyer	Activity: Manipulate different types of conic section equations on a coordinate plane using slider bars. Learn how each constant and coefficient affects the resulting graph. Choose from vertical or horizontal parabola, circle, ellipse, and vertical or horizontal hyperbola.
Function Machine	Activity: Students investigate very simple functions by trying to guess the algebraic form from inputs and outputs. Function Machine is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Linear Function Machine	Activity: Students investigate linear functions by trying to guess the slope and intercept from inputs and outputs. Linear Function Machine is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Possible or Not	Activity: Review the properties of functions by looking at ten different curves and deciding whether or not they meet the criteria for a graph of a function. This activity simply displays the curves - it does not quiz the user.
Vertical Line Test	Activity: Learn about the vertical line test for functions by trying to connect points in the plane to build a function. When you have connected all of the points, you will be told if your graph is a valid graph of a function. Vertical Line Test is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
