How this resource helps
Intersections for square-root and inverse-variation equations with native graphs, graphing-tool procedure, successive numerical refinement, domain checks and justified precision. Standard NC.M2.A-REI.11: Extend the understanding that the 𝑥-coordinates of the points where the graphs of two square root and/or inverse variation equations 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑦 = 𝑔(𝑥) intersect are the solutions of the equation 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑔(𝑥) and approximate solutions using graphing technology or successive approximations with a table of values.
What’s Included
- One editable 16:9 PowerPoint with 35 slides and teacher speaker notes on every slide.
- Full standard and all its subparts, unpacking, essential question, learning goals, warm-up, vocabulary and teaching routine.
- Five worked models, guided practice, partner work, five scored independent items, small-group intervention and an open extension.
- Matched blank/completed guided notes, a three-item exit ticket and reflection.
- Editable mathematical diagrams, tables and graphs where relevant. Graphing calculator or spreadsheet activities are included where required by the standard.
