About Inverse and Composite Functions Match

Inverse and Composite Functions Match helps upper-secondary learners understand inverse functions: the function that reverses the effect of another. Down one side are linear functions, and down the other their inverses; the student joins each function to the rule that undoes it. Finding the inverse of a function is a core Grade 8 to 9 algebra expectation across the US, UK, Canada and Australia, and it deepens understanding of what a function actually does by asking students to reverse it — to swap input and output and rearrange. Presenting it as a matching task keeps the practice active and lets students compare several functions and inverses at once, reinforcing the method of reversing each operation in turn. The functions are linear so the inverses are clean and the focus stays on the concept. Because the functions change each time, the worksheet stays fresh and reusable, and the five levels vary the coefficients. Each page prints cleanly on a standard A4 sheet, and every level downloads with its own answer key giving the correct inverse for each function. There is no advertising and no sign-up. Use it to build understanding of functions or alongside our algebra games for the same age range.
