This past school year I posted a blog on dance dance transveral an idea I got from a blog by Jenn. My students and I loved this activity so much that I started to think of different ways that I could use this kind of movement in my classroom to get the students active and interested in class.
I have created an activity very similar to dance dance transveral that allows students to move their arms in a way that will create the parent and reflected functions we discuss in class.
Have you seen my blog on Function Girl???
I have used these images to create the activity Move Move Function Girl. This activity is just like Jenn's expect students will be practicing their functions instead of angles.
Math 1 includes: Linear, Expoential, and Quadratic
Math 2 includes: Quadratic, Radical, and Rational
I usually teach advanced functions in the beginning of each school year so I'm sure I'll be adding that one soon with Exponential, Logarithmic, and Trigonometric functions. Then maybe a seperate one with review functions just parent not the reflected so I can get them all on the screen. Those would probably be Linear, Quadratic, Cubic, Radical, Rational, and Absolute Value.
