Function Transformations - Golf Game for Practice with Parent Functions

Transformations of Parent Functions - Golf Game (reflections, shifts, stretches & compressions):

This is a fun way to work through practice problems with function transformations.

Students "play" each hole on the course (5 hole-worksheet) by pulling a "driver" card, then an "iron" and then as many "putter" cards as necessary to sink the ball (get one right).

Each card has a question about transforming a parent function. The golf worksheet is used to record answers and scores. A correct answer is 1 stroke. An incorrect answer lands your ball in the sand/water/etc. and forces you to add a stroke.

Each player checks the opponent's answers (Answer charts are included).

Some special cards give chances to get a "birdie" by answering a challenging problem correctly. The student then hits directly onto the green. He/she can then skip the iron card and go straight to putting.

Includes:

- Reflections across x- axis & y-axis

- Horizontal & Vertical Shifts

- Vertical & horizontal stretches and compressions

- Combination of transformations (only when order does NOT matter)

Reviews from other Math Teachers:

- This may be one of the best items I have every purchased on TpT. It was perfect for my Pre-Calc class to recall/review transformations!

- I prepped my students for this the day before I knew I was having a sub, and then they play when the sub was there. Went well overall!

- Great practice activity! Students had excellent discussions while playing!
