Looking for Patterns with Absolute Value Equations

Students used the handheld computers to help them discover patterns that exist with a variety of absolute value equations. Specifically, they looked for patterns that would help them identify graphs with minimum values rather than maximum values, and patterns that would help them determine the line of symmetry for the graph.

Tonight's Homework: Complete Absolute Value worksheets 2 and 3. (You don't have to complete the backside of worksheet 2, as this was misprinted.) In addition, you will have a short quiz over lessons 6.1 - 6.5 (but not 6.4) on Wednesday, so you might want to prepare for it.
