Collaborative groups utilize their knowledge of parent functions and transformations to determine the equations associated with graphs. The graph is then related to the scenario it represents. 

Concepts

Instructional Ideas

• For group work, have pairs share with another couple before debriefing as a whole class
• Instruct the class to come up with a different story that will fit the graph in example one

Classroom Considerations

• An understanding of parent functions is required
• An understanding of transformations of functions is beneficial
• The first in a 10-module unit designed for the end of an Algebra I course.

Pros

• Suggested differentiation is included
• Created specifically for CCSS

Cons

• None
