Piecewise functions Teacher Resources
Find teacher approved Piecewise Functions educational resource ideas and activities
Students explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions lesson, students graph piecewise functions by hand and find the domain and range. Students make tables of values given a piecewise function. Students write piecewise functions given a graph.
A hands-on lesson using the TI-CBR Motion Detector to provide information to graph and analyze. The class uses this information to calculate the slope of motion graphs and differentiate scalar and vector quantities. There is a real-world activity of a Roof Manufacturer's Test in regards to the pitch of roofs, as well as several other real-world scenarios.
Learners explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions lesson, students discuss how to make a piecewise function continuous and differentiable. Learners use their Ti-89 to find the limit of the function as it approaches a given x value. Students find the derivative of piecewise functions.
Young scholars explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions lesson, students write functions to represent the piecewise function graphs on their Ti-Nspire calculator. Young scholars determine the formula given the piecewise function graph.
Graph piecewise functions as your learners work to identify the different values that will make a piecewise function a true statement. They identify function notations and graph basic polynomial functions. This lesson plan includes a series of critical thinking questions and vocabulary.
Investigate and discuss piecewise functions. Using TI-nspire, examine peicewise functions through an analysis of functions and their respective domains. Included are teacher and student documents.
Students explore piecewise functions. In this Algebra II/Pre-calculus lesson, students write formulas for piecewise functions and check their work on the calculator. The lesson assumes that students have seen piecewise functions prior to this activity.
Calculus students find the limit of piecewise functions at a value. They find the limit of piecewise functions as x approaches a given value. They find the limit of linear, quadratic, exponential, and trigonometric piecewise functions.
This pre-calculus worksheet is short, yet challenging. High schoolers calculate the limit of piecewise functions, rational functions, and graphs as x approaches a number from the positive or negative side. There are four questions.
Learners explore the concept of piecewise functions. In this piecewise functions instructional activity, students find the derivatives of piecewise functions. Learners determine points of discontinuity and jumps in the graph using their Ti-89 calculator.
