Polynomial End Behavior for Algebra 2
This 1-page activity helps Algebra 2 students explore the end behavior of polynomials, inspired by the Building Thinking Classrooms model. It encourages student-led discovery and discussion.
“Building Thinking Classrooms inspired activity on the end behaviour of polynomials, for an Algebra 2 classroom”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this activity as a warm-up or a short, focused lesson.
- Discussion question: How does the degree and leading coefficient of a polynomial affect its end behavior?
- Scaffold for struggling students: Provide a few example graphs and ask them to describe the end behavior in their own words before tackling the task.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask students to investigate the end behavior of rational functions or other more complex polynomial-related functions.
- Estimated time: 20-30 minutes.
