This quick little activity could be used as an activator or a summarizer in a Algebra 2, Precalculus, or Calculus class (depending on when you give it and in what context). I've used it in my Precalculus class at the beginning of the year. The functions are the "12 basic functions" according to our textbook. It only takes them a few minutes and there is a one-to-one correspondence between the questions and the answers.
