Card Sort: Reciprocal Functions

This activity is intended to be a consolidation of ideas when looking at graphs of linear & quadratic functions and their corresponding reciprocal functions. Before students do this activity, the idea is that they would have already been introduced to the graphs and started to identify characteristics of reciprocals of linear and quadratic functions. Students, however, at this point shouldn't need much algebraic knowledge of these functions. There are two parts to this activity, first there are two cardsorts. Those are the main thing for students to do. Afterwards there are a few more slides to investigate properties of reciprocal functions based on linear and quadratic functions. They are intended for students who have gone through the cardsort quickly and need extensions. This is part of a bigger investigation with multiple Desmos activities http://engaging-math.blogspot.ca/2017/02/investigating-graphs-of-rational.html
