Students will practice identifying transformations of functions from their parent function given the transformed function. This activity includes horizontal and vertical translations, reflections in the x-axis and y-axis, vertical dilations, and horizontal dilations. Types of functions include quadratic, cubic, absolute value, square root, cube root, reciprocal, and greatest integer.

Transformations from the parent functions are described on the mystery code paper. Students choose the function (there are 10 total) that matches the description. Once they identify all the functions, there are directions at the bottom of the page to reveal the code. They can check this code with you.

This was a great review of function transformations. I liked that the equations were similar enough that the students really had to focus on which parts of the equations corresponded with with types of transformations - it was challenging for all students and kept them engaged!

Adapted this resource so that I displayed pieces of the worksheet on my Smart board and had students work on individual whiteboards to write their answers and get them checked off by me :) worked great!

love ATA and all of Gina Wilson's work! My students are loving these mystery code activities and many said they understood the concept better after completing it. Better than a worksheet too as they can get immediate feedback!
