Transformations (Unit 2)

Transformation is a method of changing our basic functions. By approaching any function as a modified basic function, it is much easier to work with - we know what the graph looks like and what values are likely and/or valid.

This is a fairly quick unit. The dates below may be ambitious or they may be too slow. I will adjust as we go along. This is my proposal for right now.

10/15 Mini-Cooper Exploration pp.2-7

10/18 Check for Understanding pp.8-10
10/20 Single Transformations and Function Notation pp.11-16
10/21 Double Transformations and Practice pp.17-21
10/22 More Practice, Domain & Range transformations pp.22-26

10/25 Extra Practice pp.27-32
10/27 Computer Lab and Follow-up pp.33-38
10/28 Practice p.39-41
10/29 Unit Review p.42-26

11/01 Unit 2 Transformations Test
