Situations With Equations Poster Project

Prerequisites:

• Group of 3-6 students

• Poster paper in an appropriate size

• Writing and designing tools: pencils, pens, crayons, markers, scissors, etc.

• Knowledge of previous lessons and knowledge

• Given function by the teacher (Circle one that’s given):

1. Linear Function
2. Rational Function
3. Polynomial Function
4. Absolute Function
5. Exponential Function
6. Logarithmic Function

Direction:

Each group of students will be assigned a function given by the teacher. For each
group, students will be creating a big poster filled with information and visual
representations about their function. Information may include example formulas,
behaviors (such as domain and range), real-life examples, and so on. Visual
representation may include graphs/models, real-life pictures, and so on. Students are
encouraged to fill in as much helpful information as possible. Also, students are
encouraged to format and design the poster presentable for the class; quality and
appeal are expected. Make sure everyone is giving great and equal effort to the group
project.

Tips:

• Give each student in a group a designated role.

• Online research is greatly encouraged.
• Use Desmos/Geogebra for graphs and models. You may use the graph provided
by Desmos/Geogebra to be your graph/model.
• Visit “Useful Links” and “Digital Interactives” for more information about the
functions and related mathematical facts.
• Group project encourages group work. Students are encouraged to share
knowledge and ask for help among the group.
• Ask the teacher for any assistance and advice on the progress of the project.

Reasoning with Equations and Inequalities A-REI

Understand solving equations as a process of reasoning and explain the

reasoning. [Simple radical and rational]

2. Solve simple rational and radical equations in one variable, and give examples
showing how extraneous solutions may arise.
Solve equations and inequalities in one variable.

3.1 Solve one-variable equations and inequalities involving absolute value, graphing the
solutions and interpreting them in context. CA
Represent and solve equations and inequalities graphically. [Combine polynomial,
rational, radical, absolute value, and exponential functions.]

11. Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y =
f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions
approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or
find successive approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear,
polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
