The 2020-2021 School year was a mess! Our district started as remote, moved to AA/BB day Hybrid in October, and then open to all in April. This basically meant that students could come F2F full time, F2F part time, or remain remote. They could also decide any morning which option they were feeling. Needless to say, it was crazy! Because of all the craziness, I was not able to keep up with this blog very often. Therefore, I decided to put all of the new and (hopefully) improved activities we did in Precalculus in this one post. Everything on this page is workable for all of the student options mentioned above.

Whether you introduce composite functions in Math 3 or Precalculus, here are a couple of options to spice up your lesson! Option 1 I like using this activity in my Precalculus class as an introduction to composite functions. This could be used as an exit slip on day 1 of teaching this topic or a stand alone activity on day 2. Part A (Number Line) has students evaluating composite functions with specific values then arranging the slides in numerical order. Part B (Cut and Paste) uses two functions: f(x) and g(x). Students are to evaluate both f(g(x)) and g(f(x)); if they are correct, they will find their answer on the final slide of the presentation. Students will cut the answers and place it in the appropriate location for that problem. If the learners are incorrect, their answers will (probably) not be found and they will need to redo the problem to find their mistake. Here is the key for this activity. Option 2 I used this activity as a project and allowed students to work with a ...
