Discovery Activity of Functions

MI-NGSS

F-IF-1: Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the

range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function

and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x.

The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x).

F-IF-2: Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret

statements that use function notation in terms of a context.

F-IF-7a: Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple

cases and using technology for more complicated cases. Graph linear and quadratic functions and show

intercepts, maxima, and minima.

Objectives

Students will be able to describe how slope effects a linear function

Students will be able to describe how y-intercept effects a linear function

Prior Knowledge Needed:

 Domain/range

 Intercepts

 Linear equations

 Slope

 Graphing skills

there is not an easy way to
explain it, they will learn
more by the hands on
material I have provided.
I will mostly be sitting at the I do not walk around as much
desk watching what the during desmos lessons
students are answering and because then the students feel
how they are working like they should figure it out
through the problems. for themselves, which is the
point of this lesson. I want
them to discover the answers.
Will answer with more Asks random question about Giving students the answer
questions until the student desmos will teach them nothing. By
leads themselves to the asking them questions I can
answer gauge their understanding and
lead them to the answer.

This lesson will not have a lot of teacher interaction as the guided discovery is built into the activity.
By limiting my interaction, the students will play around with the ideas more in order to discover
the underlying concepts. This material will be reviewed during the next class period.
