Instructional Ideas
  • Have the class create a chart summarizing relationships (e.g., inverse of an exponential function is logarithmic, inverse of a linear function is linear, etc.)
Classroom Considerations
  • Teacher guide indicates that the lesson could be split over two days, as pupils have not previously encountered inverse functions
  • Learners should have previous knowledge of domain and range, transformations of graphs, function notation, compositions, etc.
Pros
  • Inverses are considered using a variety of representations such as mappings, graphs, equations, and ordered pairs
  • Teacher guide contain questions to generate classroom discussion
Cons
  • None
