I think this worked well as a review to tie the concept together. Functions tend to be a difficult subject for Pre Algebra students since it tends to be abstract. The concept mastery allowed them to see how the pieces fit together. I liked having the pictures of the functions as cut outs so that they could sort them. I liked that we used it in a station teaching activity. The small group made it easy to monitor and make sure all students were participating.
The biggest challenge I had was making sure they brought up all the items and terms I needed them to! I think you have to have good questioning skills to direct the discussion.
Next time I think I would incorporate some "think-pair-share" moments so that students could have time to discuss before i solicited information from them.
