Polynomial functions in grade 12

We hit the ground running today looking at polynomial functions.  We are getting comfortable drawing graphs from factored form, and determining equations of graphs that we see.

We are remembering how to factor too!

We did a card stack review activity.  Each card has an equation on one side and a graph on the other.  The card are all placed graph side up, one card is flipped, and then we need to find the graph that matches the revealed equation.  When the graph that matches is found, it is flipped onto the pile to reveal a new equation.  This continues until the pile is complete.  The equation at the top will match the graph on the bottom of the pile.

We have developed a good sense of intuition!  Next step is the fun of factoring 🙂
