Module 8: Modeling With Functions

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Module 8: Modeling With Functions unit plan also includes:
  • Introduction to the Materials
  • Modeling With Functions: Student Edition
  • Modeling With Functions: Honors Teacher Edition
  • Modeling With Functions: Honors Student Edition
  • Join to access all included materials

Sometimes there just isn't a parent function that fits the situation. Help scholars learn to combine function types through operations and compositions. Learners first explore a new concept with an introductory activity and then follow with independent practice.
