So you might be trying to get your team to say "parabola" but you can't say <i>graph</i>, <i>squared</i>, <i>curve</i>, <i>axis</i>, or <i>shape</i>.<br /><br />Anyway, she made a whole set of these; they were really fun.Tim Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16827602816746254630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51958265250790371.post-82312229935500706042011-01-20T19:47:36.665-06:002011-01-20T19:47:36.665-06:00Got it.

I made War Cards a la Kate Nowak to achieve something similar in teaching transformations of basic monomial functions (horiz/vertical shifts, reflections, stretching/compressing).<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this idea! <br /><br />Elizabeth (aka @cheesemonkeysf on Twitter)<br /><br />PS -- How come you guys all seem to have foam dice in your closets...?cheesemonkeysfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311170815422010013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51958265250790371.post-44218011145593515122011-01-20T18:01:09.229-06:002011-01-20T18:01:09.229-06:00@Fouss - compositions are in the same section - we...@Fouss - compositions are in the same section - we'll do that on Monday, can do another 6 sided that has f(g(x)), g(f(x)), and the other four as evaluating ie f(g(-2)), etc<br /><br />I like it!! :)druinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363634340959613461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51958265250790371.post-64725303590293858822011-01-20T17:45:59.549-06:002011-01-20T17:45:59.549-06:00Love it!

And you're welcome, because I'm going to totally steal this idea when we get to it. :)<br /><br />As for the function die, have you done the compositions yet? If so, you could include f(g(x)) and g(f(x)) and just use another 6-sided. I can't remember when that comes in the book.<br /><br />KristenKFousshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04493982153040173831noreply@blogger.com
