Integrated Math III · Week 15 · Polynomial, Rational, and Radical Relationships
Radical Functions
Square root growth that slows but never stops.
- Students will
- Students graph radical functions, find the domain, and describe how the graph rises quickly and then slows.
- SEL skill
- Name what keeps you motivated when progress slows
- What it looks like
- Students recognize that progress can slow down without stopping and name their own sources of motivation.
- Content focus
- Graphing square root functions
- Format
- Think write pair share
