One Piece at a Time

By: Michell Eike | 70-80 minutes | Graphing and Analyzing Piecewise Functions In this lesson, students will learn how to graph and analyze piecewise functions. The piecewise functions in this lesson will have a maximum of three branches, which could contain any combination of linear, quadratic, and exponential branches. The full lesson is available at https://learn.k20center.ou.edu/lesson/2149. Important notes: This lesson is written so that it could be taught at the beginning of the school year or later, depending on your curriculum pacing. Interval notation is not required prerequisite content but would be helpful; calculations with exponential functions are limited to a base of one-half and two; and quadratics are written in vertex form.
