This is an engaging and fascinating activity for studying the intervals of concavity of given functions. The functions included are polynomials, rational, radical, exponential, logarithmic and trigonometric. They are specially selected so that each function has more than one points of inflection. If students solve all the 16 problems correctly, they will find out 16 math calculus terms (each consisting of two words). Some of the terms might not be still popular and students will learn them.
Activity Directions: Partners are instructed to identify the intervals where 8 functions given concave up and the intervals where another 8 functions concave down. They look for their answers in a given table and search for a math calculus term corresponding to each of their answers(there is a word corresponding to an interval).
The problems are written on task cards.
This product can be possibly used as an independent practice, as a partner or a group activity (groups of 4).
Student recording sheet and answer keys are provided.
