Graphing Absolute Value Functions
This 20-minute packet helps 8th graders graph absolute value functions and identify their key features. It also guides students in calculating and interpreting the rate of change over specified intervals.
“A 20 minute lesson that allows students to Graph an absolute value function and identify the key features of the graph. • Calculate and interpret the rate of change of an absolute value function over a specified interval.”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this packet as a 20-minute introduction or practice activity for graphing absolute value functions.
- Discussion question: How does the vertex of an absolute value function relate to its minimum or maximum value?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Provide a partially completed graph or a table of values to help them plot points.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask students to compare the rate of change of two different absolute value functions over the same interval.
- Estimated time: 20 minutes.
