Domain Reference Foldable

Grade Level(s):  High School

Content Area:                                                                        Process Area:
Numbers and Operations                                           Problem-Solving
Algebra                                                           Reasoning and Proof
Geometry                                                                    Communication
Measurement                                                             Representation
Data Analysis, Statistics, and Probability                    Connections

Common Core Standards:
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSF.IF.A.1: Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x).

Targeted Needs of Student:
Finding the domain and range of a graph, seeing a visual reference of domain an range, interpreting functions and their graphs

Goal:
To provide students with a visual reference of domain and range in functions

Materials Needed:


1.      Small envelopes
2.      Colored Paper
3.      Scissors
4.      Glue
5.      Graph paper with functions printed on it




Explanation/Summary:
The students will first make a small envelope or be given a small envelope. They will then place the graph paper with functions in the envelope and glue the envelope at the bottom of their paper. These graph paper rectangles need to be small – about 5 in by 2 in. Then the students will cut the paper into two flaps that fold and one flap that is above the flaps and below the flaps. (See picture for reference) On the two flaps that fold in, students will write DOMAIN. Then to determine the domain points, students will place the graph paper with functions on it inside the colored paper foldable and fold in the two flaps that say DOMAIN on it. It helps to allow students to see where those points are against the sharp edge.
