September 4 - Parent functions

We played a graphing game in class today. I projected the graph of a function on the board, and then groups in turn would guess what they thought the function was. The first round was pretty easy, while the second round was problematic as many students forgot about 1 / x and the greatest integer function. The third round was the challenge round as I changed the scale of the graphs but did not tell what that scale change was. We will complete the third round in class on Tuesday.

I have included the list of parent functions for which you are responsible below. I have also reminded you how the graphs shift right/left and up/down depending upon h, k in y = f(x–h) + k.
