In this workshop participants will explore linear, quadratic, exponential and trigonometric functions with the goal of developing a fluency of functions that helps to make sense of real world problems. Functions will be explored through three different "Big Ideas”: multiple representations of functions, real world modeling of functions, and transformational graphing of functions. Participants will first take on the role of learner while engaging with other colleagues through multiple tasks, allowing an opportunity to explore and think more deeply about the content they teach. The exploration of these tasks will build a strong foundation for discussion related to the five mathematical process goals: problem solving, communication, reasoning, connections and representations. An innovative approach to transformational graphing that emphasizes connectivity will also be explored. Hands-on activities and small group discussion will guide the format of this workshop and encourage active involvement of all participants.
