"Let's Get to Work" (w/Teacher Example) is a great way to show students a practical application of a rational function. Students will create a rational equation that they will apply to solve a problem and they will also have the opportunity to explore the graphs of some basic rational functions. Thanks to Desmos, this won't be too confusing for students!
New for the 2024-25 school year, we'll be using the "Hook Lesson" for Rational Functions. We'll also suggest that teachers print out a poster-sized copy of the "Menu of Covariaton" and post it in the front of their classrooms.
