This straightforward worksheet provides learners with valuable practice in identifying different symmetries of functions.  Brief, but thorough explication at the front of the worksheet guides and reminds learners of the techniques they need to use in categorizing each function. Problems progress from a simple application of rules to more thought-provoking short-answer questions.

Instructional Ideas

• Ideal for remediation or extended practice of concepts
• Good for reinforcing techniques learned through a discovery learning lab

Classroom Considerations

• Resource assumes students are deft in functional notation
• Work needs to be performed on separate paper, and may require cautioning learners against trying to fit tests between the problems

Pros

• Clear examples, multiple problems of all types
• Problems progress in complexity, allowing learners to scaffold concepts
• Answer key provided

Cons

• The directions are not clear that a function might not necessarily demonstrate one of the described symmetries
