Teacher Resources for Instructional Planning


Precalculus Std 5: Analyze the effects of parameter changes on the graphs of trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions. Example: explaining the relationship of the graph of y = e^x -2 to the graph of y = e^x Determining the amplitude, period, phase shift, domain, and range of trigonometric functions and their inverses

Lesson Plans Mathematical Investigation with Excel This lesson uses an excel spreadsheet to model a basketball's flight. It allows you to change the angle and initial velocity of the toss and the graph changes accordingly. Chicago Public Schools This is a collection of structured daily lesson plans that go from transformations to compositions of functions. Transformations of Functions This is an interactive online lesson about general transformations of functions. Getting Out of Line (Function Patterns) In this lesson, students study nonlinear models for data in tables and in graphs. Students explore parameter changes in linear and non-linear functions. Toothpicks and Transformations (Quadratic Functions) Students will investigate quadratic functions using geometric toothpick designs. Chicago Public Schools This is a collection of structured daily lesson plans that covers rational functions.
