Algebra I Interactive Notebook Pages: Relations Too Functions

We lately finished our 3rd unit of measurement of the twelvemonth inwards Algebra 1, Relations in addition to Functions.  Here are our interactive notebook pages for the unit.  This is absolutely i of my favorite units of the twelvemonth to teach!  

Each unit of measurement starts amongst a divider that sticks out slightly from our interactive notebooks.  

The other side of the divider lists all of the SBG skills for the unit.  I accidentally forgot to type inwards i of the skills when I typed the divider.  I'm all the same frustrated yesteryear that fact.

Here's a close-up of the skills:

The starting fourth dimension science of the unit of measurement was to generate equivalent representations of a relation in addition to create upwards one's heed if the relation was a function.  We started yesteryear creating a foldable of the unlike representations of a relation.   I convey blogged virtually this foldable inwards depth earlier here.

After making this foldable, nosotros played a "Representations of Relations" hollo upwards game that I blogged virtually here.

Next, nosotros made a frayer model to define what a "function" is.

After defining the news "function," nosotros had a Function Auction.  This activeness is ever a favorite amongst students, in addition to I blogged virtually it here.

I allow my students uncovering the vertical trace exam for themselves yesteryear making human graphs on our shower mantle coordinate plane.  I blogged virtually this activeness here.

I pulled out a notebook page I made a few years agone to do writing sentences to justify if a relation was or was non a function.

Students divided the side yesteryear side page into 2 columns to mucilage inwards their completed function/not a component menu sort.

We likewise skillful differentiating betwixt functions in addition to non-functions yesteryear completing an opened upwards middle trend work that I created in addition to blogged virtually here.

Up next: Dependent in addition to Independent Variables

This year, I had my students write sentences inwards the shape _________ depends on _____________.  This seemed to manage to a greater extent than of my students master copy independent in addition to subject variables than inwards the past.

To innovate the concept of charge per unit of measurement of change, I had my students deed out The Crow in addition to the Pitcher fable using graduated cylinders in addition to drinking glass stones.

I wrote virtually this activeness here.  

We made 2 do books.  One majority focused on calculating charge per unit of measurement of alter from a tabular array or railroad train of points.  The 2nd majority focused on calculating charge per unit of measurement of alter from a graph.  

Next, nosotros began to hash out domain in addition to range.  We did a DIXIROYD foldable in addition to 2 do books.  I blogged virtually this foldable in addition to these books here.

We skillful finding the domain in addition to make of continuous functions using our dry out erase pockets.  The most economical means to acquire a railroad train of these dry out erase pockets for your classroom is to search Amazon for "shop ticket holders." (affiliate link).

I've blogged virtually this domain in addition to make do activeness earlier here.

I likewise gave my students this foldable to spark a give-and-take of domain in addition to make restrictions.  This was position together at the final minute, in addition to at that spot are a zillion things I wishing I could alter virtually it.  I estimate I'll do that side yesteryear side year!

It's straightaway fourth dimension to innovate component machines in addition to component notation.  I wasn't feeling super inspired, then I ended upwards pulling out a foldable I designed a few years ago.  Every fourth dimension I utilisation this, I retrieve to myself that I postulate to edit it.  But, every year, I merely don't convey the energy.  I'm definitely at that signal inwards the twelvemonth where I merely postulate a chip of a intermission from school!

We do working amongst component machines yesteryear trying out a business from CPM's Core Connections Algebra course.  I learned virtually this activeness at a conference this summertime in addition to blogged virtually it here.

The side yesteryear side 2 pages are novel this year.

Evaluating a Function From a Graph

And, Evaluating a Function From a Table.

For both, I made students write a judgement to depict what the component notation meant.  I don't know why I never had students do this before!

We skillful evaluating functions from a table, graph, in addition to equation yesteryear playing a competitive game of "Evaluating Functions War."  I blogged virtually this game here.

Another activeness nosotros did inwards degree was an opened upwards middle trend work I created to do evaluating functions.  I blogged virtually this work here.

Up side yesteryear side is i of my favorite activities from the entire unit: Win Some Cash!  I blogged virtually this business inwards depth here.

After graphing the "Win Some Cash!" functions, nosotros did about to a greater extent than graphing functions practice.  After graphing each function, students had to separate the component every bit linear, absolute value, quadratic, or exponential.

We kicked off our linear vs. non-linear science yesteryear making a frayer model for "linear."

We likewise did a linear/non-linear menu sort.

To do our linear vs. non-linear skills, nosotros had a "Linear Auction."  It was a rousing success!  Students had been begging for about other auction ever since our "Function Auction."  

You tin acquire to a greater extent than virtually the Linear Auction here in addition to the Function Auction here.  

When I was typing my divider for this unit, I accidentally left out i of the skills.  The science was "I tin create a storey given a graph in addition to create a graph given a story."  I ended upwards adding this on to the terminate of the unit of measurement every bit RF8.

The problems inwards this foldable were all flora online inwards diverse resources.  I didn't proceed rails of what came from where, then this makes me a real bad blogger.  Sorry!

We ended the unit of measurement yesteryear writing descriptions for these popcorn graphs.  Because I instruct teenagers, I had to halt i of my students from describing George's Dad's graph every bit "Netflix in addition to chill."  

I convey uploaded the files for these lessons here.
