Name of the teacher :Kalpana Bhati Lesson :Functions Period :45 minutes
Class :XII
Topic :composition of a function
Learning Objectives :The student will be able to
1. de ne composition of functions
2. demonstrate understanding of composition of functions
3. Di erentiate between examples and non-examples of composition of function
4. Evaluate composition of function
Major concepts/Teaching Points:
Composition of a function
Pre-requisite Knowledge:-
1. Function
2. Domain, co-domain
3. Range
Focus Question: What composition of function?
Anticipated questions:
1. What is meaning of composition?
2. Why it is named so?
3. What will happen if I reverse the order in which composition is written?

Introduction (engage) The teacher introduces the topic name (composition of function) Students recall the previous Write unit name: functions
and brie y asks questions to explore previous knowledge of the knowledge and answer the Write lesson name:
students: questions asked. composition of functions
• What is a function?
• What is domain of a function? Write correct responses from
• What is co-domain of a function? the students
• What is range of a function?
• Give an example of function?
• Give a non-example of function?
The correct responses are appreciated and then the nal answer
is written on the board.
The answers to the above questions the teacher is satis ed with
the familiarity of ‘function’ with the students and proceeds to
induce them possibility of composition of function by asking Write down the example:
them: Given,
• Can a function be put as a variable of another function? Students engage in discussion to f (x) = 2x + x 2
The teacher gives an example as a hint for the above question. explore the possibility. g(y) = 6y 2 + 7y
Then is it possible that:
The teacher suggests on exploring the same in today’s lesson. ?(?) = 6(2x + x 2 )2 + 7(2x + x 2 )

remembered as key and marks the same on green board.
