This collection of Sketchpad activities greatly enhances the study of functions. Students: - manipulate visual models and construct algebraic objects and graphs - explore linear, quadratic, exponential, logarithmic, and rational functions through graphs, tables, and equations - model relationships between quantities and interpret their results both mathematically and within problem contexts - move among equivalent quadratic equations and apply lessons from geometric transformations to transform functions.

The Geometer's Sketchpad, Exploring Algebra 2 (SKETCHPAD ACTIVITY MODULES)

The Sketchpad activities in this collection give students the opportunity to directly experience, through dynamic visualization and manipulation, the topics covered in Precalculus. Students: - transform functions dynamically - view and modify entire families of functions—polynomial, exponential, logistic, and more - build parametric functions, and manipulate vectors and matrices - discover the relationship between rectangular and polar coordinates - make complex numbers come alive on the coordinate plane - finish with a dynamic, visual introduction to the main concepts of calculus.

This collection of Sketchpad activities enriches your students’ study of calculus, empowering them to directly experience the dynamic, geometric nature of calculus in a hands-on format. Students' understanding will deepen as they:dynamically control the number of subintervals in a partition and see the area measurement change instantaneouslyexplore the relationship between the graphs of an equation, its derivative, and its second derivative as the original equation changesnvestigate changes of position and velocity, leading to an exploration of rates of change and limits at infinity.
