Introduction

Advanced Functions and Modeling provides students an in-depth study of modeling and applying functions. Home, work, recreation, consumer issues, public policy, and scientific investigations are just a few of the areas from which applications should originate. Appropriate technology, from manipulatives to calculators and application software, should be used regularly for instruction and assessment.

These AFM lessons originate from a variety of sources. If the lesson was created by NCSSM faculty, “NCSSM” will appear in the link. The lessons developed by NCSSM faculty members include a student handout and teacher notes, complete with solutions. Other lessons were created by NCSSM faculty for the Algebra 2 website and others are lessons from external sources such as the Shodor Foundation website or Hands On Activities from Georgetown University. Materials from websites other than NCSSM will not necessarily have the same format but may be very useful in teaching the AFM course.
