Function Builder
Topics
- Functions
- Ordered Pairs
- Transformations
- Linear Equation
Description
Play with functions while you ponder Art History. Explore geometric transformations and transform your thinking about linear functions, then have fun figuring out the mystery functions!
Sample Learning Goals
- Define a function as a rule relating each input to exactly one output and predictably acting on inputs
- Predict outputs of a function using given inputs
- Compose functions to create a new function
- Interpret, compare, and translate between multiple representations of an algebraic function
