Relevant mathematical concepts involved in the exploration: Functions Composition of Functions Fixed Point Iteration Function notation (i.e. ) Infinity Concept of Limits Domain and Range Sequences and Series Patterns Simplifying Expressions: Solving, Distribution, Substitution Evaluating Expressions Identity Common threads for teaching: Discussing previous concepts about functions (Prior knowledge) o Ensure they know how to compose functions Exploration (create their own functions, do at least 2 compositions) o Make sure to have them explore some specific functions that illustrate what it is you want them to see. Discuss vocabulary: fixed point
