Integrated Math II · Week 14 · Quadratic Expressions, Equations, and Functions
Piecewise Days
Piecewise functions model a day that changes rules: school, work, rest.
- Students will
- Students evaluate a piecewise function, choosing the correct rule for each input, and describe each piece of its graph.
- SEL skill
- Match a coping step to each part of an energy day
- What it looks like
- Students notice how their energy changes through a day and plan ways to cope with stress.
- Content focus
- Piecewise functions
- Format
- Think write pair share
