Inverse Functions
Students will find the inverse of a function algebraically and graphically, understanding its relationship to the original function.
Key Questions
- Justify why not all functions have an inverse that is also a function.
- Compare the graph of a function with the graph of its inverse.
- Explain the conceptual meaning of an inverse function in terms of input and output.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
