Investigating How Absolute Value Functions Change
Today, we formally added vocabulary terms about absolute value functions to our notes. These terms will also assist us as we learn about linear functions and parabolas. The terms we focussed on included maximum, minimum, vertex, line of symmetry, coefficient and constant.
After this, we formed groups of four to begin work on a project that will extend into the next week or so. Students were challenged to create their own equations to determine how the addition of a constant to the absolute value equation will change the graph of the function. Students were encouraged to only change one variable in their investigation, and come up with between 5 and 10 equations of their own to graph as they tried to discover the pattern.
