Types of Functions: One-to-One and Onto
Students will identify and differentiate between injective (one-to-one) and surjective (onto) functions.
Key Questions
- Differentiate between injective and surjective functions using graphical representations.
- Analyze how the domain and codomain influence a function's injectivity or surjectivity.
- Construct a function that is neither one-to-one nor onto, and explain why.

Planning templates for Mathematics
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.
