Types of Functions
Students graph step functions (for example, the greatest integer function), and then form the inverse function of given function. They also graph piece-wise defined functions and explain step-by-step the process. Finally, students define...

Shortest Path
High schoolers explore an application of definite integrals. They graph three functions that go through the same three points. Learners use the symbolic capacity of their calculators to find the shortest path through the three points and...

Perfect Shuffles
Students investigate piecewise functions. In this algebra activity, students model piecewise functions in the real world. They graph the parts of the functions following the restrictions of the domain.
