Function Matching – Down the Desmos Rabbit Hole!

Before our break I created a set of challenges for students to investigate translations of different functions. I had a few goals in mind:

  • Introduce a few basic functions that we will work with in this unit (square root, rational, cubic, quadratic).
  • See how certain points on the function are translated.
  • How does affecting the values in the equation affect the graph of a variety of functions?
  • Use function notation to represent translations.
