The Function Zoo : A lesson design to help students organise their knowledge about functions
Resource Type: Activity, Lesson
Based on an initial idea from Mary Barnes ("Investigating Change" series) this is a lesson design to help students organise their current understanding of the different types of functions. It also provides rich opportunities for student collaboration, use of technology (hi tech and low tech), as well as giving the teacher a valuable opportunity to observe students engaged in mathematical discussion with each other.
