Integrated Math III · Week 10 · Polynomial, Rational, and Radical Relationships
Zeros and Turning Points
Graphing polynomials; turning points in a semester.
- Students will
- Students use zeros, signs of p(x), and end behavior to sketch a cubic graph.
- SEL skill
- Name highs and lows as turning points and plan a next step
- What it looks like
- Students practice self-regulation by naming a low point of a semester as a turning point and planning one next step.
- Content focus
- Graphing polynomials from zeros
- Format
- Partner exchange
