You will need to graph the function and tell its name.

Friday's Quiz was returned today, and we went over it. Any students who were absent from the quiz on Friday can make it up in class tomorrow. Students were given a Parent Functions packet that included a graphic organizer for each function. This packet will be a work in progress. Unfortunately, I only have a hard copy of it, so I cannot attach it to the blog. Students need to keep up with it! Today we talked about plugging x values into each function to find the y values. Students completed the charts for each of the six functions and then graphed them. Anyone who did not finish graphing should finish it for homework. We will work on the questions later in the week. Students took a quiz today. They will be returned on Monday and will be posted in Pinnacle then as well. After the quiz, students were given more class time to complete the Characteristics of Functions packet, which was due at the end of class. Those not turning them in received a zero in Pinnacle.
