In deference to my love of card sorts, I thought I’d share one of my favorites for parent functions.
Full disclosure: I did make this during the summer because of all the cutting. It didn’t take me that long to make, but I don’t like making things like this during the school year. I love this guillotine paper cutter
do do lots of heavy cutting. This slider type paper cutter
is cheaper, but doesn't last as long. I have both types :)

First, I glued graphs of the parent functions onto the inside of a folder and had them laminated. This step is totally unnecessary; I don’t know why I did it, at the time it felt necessary.
Then, I cut out all the cards. I decided to make them on an assortment of colored cardstock. The editable file is part of my free resource library. If you don't have access, you can sign up for it here.
Because I felt fancy when I was making this, each category of card is a different color.
Then, the students can match the information to the different graphs. I have my students do this as their warmup everyday until I feel like they have everything memorized.
