problems in the textbook to apply their knowledge. Modeling: Review solutions to the warm-up activity. Guiding: Show the students how a graph can be reflected over the line y = x using a piece of string and a cut out graph. Independent Practice: Inverses & Transformations Geometers Sketchpad Activity Assessment: Completed activities will be collected and graded. Modeling: On the SmartBoard present an example problem to model what students will be completing. Guiding: Pass out the laptops and help students log on and answer any questions as students begin the first task. Independent Practice: Students will complete the sheet. Assessment: Review solutions as a class and draw the graphs on the SmartBoard. Modifications: Students with special needs will be given textbooks to supplement their notes as they complete the activity. Advanced students will be instructed to justify their answers and provide reasons for why they are correct. Revisit goals and identify whether they were met. Pass out the Weekly Self-Assessments and collect at the bell.

Warm-up
Recall that the graph of the inverse function f 1 ( x ) is a reflection of the graph of the function f ( x) over the line y = x. Apply this information to match the graphs of the functions in Column A with the corresponding graphs of their inverses in Column B. *Challenge Determine whether the inverse is a function. Column A: Column B:
