Concept Notebook

It has been my experience that if a student can explain important concepts in mathematics, they perform and understand on a much higher level than other students. Mathematics can be explained in four different ways: verbal (or written), algebraically, graphically, and using data, lists, or tables.

A list of concepts can be found on our canvas webpage for you to use throughout the semester. You will need to do the following for each concept:

1. Explain each concept in your own words. Please use complete sentences. 2. Doone(orboth)ofthefollowing:

a. Support each concept with a visual representation. This is to be done neatly and clearly showing how that concept is to be used.  

b.Support each concept with an algebraic example from your text, notes, or homework. This is to be done neatly and clearly showing how that concept is to be used.  

Please use three-ring, loose-leaf, notebook paper. DO NOT use a spiral notebook. Write using complete sentences and only on one side of your paper. Staple your concept notebook. Use a cover sheet that I have put on our canvas webpage before turning it in. Make sure you completely fill out the cover sheet before turning this in.

10.Review of all the formulas pertaining to linear equations.
11.Midpoint formula
12.Distance formula
13.Functions and function notation [i.e.. F (x) = y]
14.How do you determine whether an equation is a function or not? [You may want

to include both the vertical line test and an algebraic explanation.] 15. Domain

16.Determining where a function increases, decreases, and is constant 17.Difference quotient and Average rate of change
18.Even and odd functions
19.The important functions we discussed in class (you do not need to include the

greatest integer function). Please leave room for two more important functions

for later
