Most 30-1 teachers likely start their course with the unit on Transformations and there is an excellent reason for choosing this topic as the starting point. Concepts introduced and developed here are weaved in and out of the course as new units emerge.
Analyzing and applying outcomes from the Transformations unit occurs, to a greater or lesser extent, when studying each the following functions:
- Radical
- Polynomial
- Trigonometric
- Exponential
- Logarithmic
- Rational
Striving for a deep understanding of the Transformation outcomes will increase the likelihood of over-all course success exponentially.
If you are looking for a way to arrive at this deep understanding, I invite you to engage in the following learning package. Here you will find:
- 4 video lessons, with an average length of 24 minutes, on Translations, Stretches, Refections, and Inverse of Relations.
- Each lesson comes with a focussed set of practice questions, complete with detailed solutions.
- Detailed solutions to the Alberta Education Transformation released items from 2014, 2016, 2017, and 2019.

This package could be used before officially beginning the course as a way to get a head start. Seeing material prior to teacher instruction can be a huge advantage. Or, perhaps a student has missed most or all of the unit. This would be a practical and efficient way to catch-up. Or, if a student did not do well on an assessment and has the opportunity to do re-write, these videos and practice questions might help to fill in any learning gaps. Or, a student might be looking for an in-depth review of this unit as diploma exam time approaches. There are many ways to reap benefits.
Master this unit and you should be sailing on the road to success. Good luck!
