Description
Connect piecewise functions to real life in this Graphing Piecewise Functions Project - Rollercoaster Engineer. This activity is perfect for students to write a function, graph the function, and analyze characteristics of the graph. Students have fun creating their own rollercoaster! This project is 100% editable, so you can determine the types of functions (linear, absolute value, quadratic, etc.) students should use to create their piecewise function.
Roller Coaster Engineer Project:
Students will create a roller coaster that demonstrates their knowledge and understanding of the following piecewise function skills:
- Graph a continuous function that represents a roller coaster using parent functions. (Editable for teacher to choose which parent functions)
- Write the equation for each section of the roller coaster, using a transformational approach.
- Write a piecewise-defined function to represent the entire roller coaster.
- Determine the height of the roller coaster at a specified time.
- Identify function attributes: Domain and Range, Local Minima and Maxima, and Intervals of Increase and Decrease
