Scavenger Hunt - Families of Functions (Parent Function Transformation) Exit TK

UPDATE: This product now includes 6 UNIQUE EXIT TICKETS AS A FREEBIE that are available only and only through the purchase of this product. This FREEBIE is a token of appreciation for your continuous support my friend

Have you seen the preview?

This activity will allow students to move around the room. There are 16 cards with 16 different problems assessing the understanding of Transformations of Parent Functions, i.e.; Families of Functions. There are 4 parent functions used in this scavenger hunt. Also, there are 7 type of transformations applied to these parent functions. Only one transformation is applied at a time to the parent function.

The 4 Parent Functions used in this activity are:

• Linear Parent Function

• Absolute Value Parent Function

• Quadratic Parent Function

• Square Root Parent Function

Transformations used in this activity:

• Horizontal Translation (Right and Left)

• Vertical Transformation (Up and Down)

• Reflection across the x-axis

• Stretching

• Compressing

Each question provides a parent function f(x) and ask to apply one of the above transformations to this parent function. The result is going to be a transformed function g(x). Students will walk around the room looking for that particular function. This activity helps students to read a given notation (rule) of a function and get an idea about the meaning of the numbers in that notation. Students will feel better after this activity as they understand the concept better while working as a team.

My kids loved this activity and found it beneficial. Hopefully yours will find it enjoyable and helpful as well :-) In some classes I ran this activity in class while in others I assigned it at home or in groups. In both cases, students LOVED it.

In Classroom Scavenger Hunt OPTION

In the classroom version, this activity will allow students to move around the room. There are 16 cards with 16 different problems assessing the understanding of Transformation of Parent Functions

This activity maybe used as a review before an assessment on this concept. Students will feel better after this activity as they understand the concept better while working as a team.

How to play?

After you assign the first card, students will locate the card around the room and answer the question on the card. Then, after solving the question with their partner (or group or individually), student will find the answer as it is placed on another card around the room. Then, student will answer the question on that card repeating the process. Students will utilize the Scavenger Hunt Answer form to keep a record of their answers as well as their sequence. I will strongly encourage that student show work and attach it to the answer form.

I have attached a visual organizer of the findings which would help in checking out the sequence quickly. It is an"A"wesome card which could be given to every student. You may choose to print 1 per page or 4 per page. Both printing options are included in this product.

This activity is a great tool for differentiation. It could be used as a review before a quiz or a test on this topic, TASK CARDS, Cooperative Learning, ... et .. It is a great way of "Cooperative Learning". It also could be used as a formative assessment.

In addition to the Scavenger Hunt file, you'll find an answer form to be used by students as well as an answer key. Don't forget to check the preview.

At Home OR Stations Scavenger Hunt OPTION

This is a new strategy that I have been using in my classroom which allows for differentiation. I have included the scavenger hunt in a small size with an organizational bulletin and a small 'A'wesome Card. Students will simply take the scavenger hunt at home and do it instead of a homework or as an extra credit. Please visit the preview to see some pictures of the final product when completed with this option. My students have enjoyed this option and thought it was fun. I hope that your students will love it as well.

ABOUT THE UNIQUE FREEBIE 6 EXIT TICKETS

Exit tickets (Formative Assessment) provide a great instant feedback while teaching any concept. If you use data driven instruction, these exit tickets will allow you to collect such data and execute a plan of action based on the results. White utilizing these tickets, teachers will be able to conduct a quick check of student understanding of concepts taught in class and adjust the pace accordingly. I personally ask my students to fill out the tickets and hand them in as they're leaving the classroom.

In this file, there are 6 exit tickets to aid in assessing the understanding of:

☑ Transformation of Linear Parent Function

☑ Transformation of Quadratic Parent Function

☑ Transformation of Absolute Value Parent Function

☑ Transformation of Square Root Parent Function

An answer key is provided in this file as well.
