Instructional Ideas

  • Have the class create a function and find values that will make the linearity tests true
  • In preparation for the next lesson, organize groups to create a list of functions they believe are linear transformations

Classroom Considerations

  • Class members should be able to convert from radians to degrees and vice-versa

Pros

  • The answer key has possible solutions that the pupils may include in their responses
  • The teacher notes give suggestions on how to differentiate the assignments

Cons
