About This MicroSim

Explore how piecewise functions combine different rules on different intervals. Notice the open (○) and closed (●) dots at boundaries - they show whether a point is included or excluded!

Lesson Plan

Learning Objective: Students will construct piecewise functions by defining different rules for different domains and observe the resulting graph.

Key Insight: A piecewise function is like a hiking trail with different terrains - one rule here, another rule there!
