Rational Functions Match Game (project)
MATERIALS - As part of this packet, you will find the following
• Answer grid and follow up questions
• 8 cut out cards containing Rational Functions (labelled 1-8)
• 8 cut out data tables (labelled 9-16)
• 8 cut out graph cards (labelled 17-24)
• 8 cut out verbal descriptions of what is happening in each graph (labelled
25-32)
TASK DIRECTIONS
• Cut out each card (you should have 32 cards total)
• Each Rational Function card corresponds with a data table card, graph card
and verbal description card.
• Your objective is to Match each of the 8 equation cards to the
corresponding table, graph, and verbal description cards. Record your
answers in answer grid
• Below the grid you will find 8 follow up questions. The number of each
question refers specifically to the corresponding rational function card (so
follow up question #1 is asking about function #1). Follow the directions
for each question and show work wherever directed.
• I encourage you to use Desmos and/or your graphing calculator to help you
WHAT YOU NEEDTO HAND IN (put them in this order):
• Hand in completed grid that matches the functions to their graphs/data
tables/descriptions and the answers to the "follow up" questions
• Attach each of the four cards that "go together" to a sheet of paper
(staple, glue, tape,...I don't care how you attach it as long as it looks
"professional"). Since there are 8 "groups" of information, you will need to
hand in 8 sheets with 4 cards attached to each
• Please staple or clip all of your pages together
HOW WILL YOU BE GRADED
• 1 pt. each for each sheet of 4 cards that you hand in (8 pts. total)
• 2 pts. each for each correct answer in the matching grid (48 pts total)
• 3 pts. each for correctly answering follow up questions and showing work as
directed (24 pts. total)
• 10 pts. for professionalism/neatness/completeness/following directions (my
judgement)
• Total out of 90 points (pro-rated to 100%)
