Enduring Understanding:
Our actions affect our world.
Overarching Question:
How can we use patterns to make predictions?
Colorado State Mathematics Standards Addressed:
Standard 8.2.3: Graphs, tables and equations can be used to distinguish between linear and nonlinear
functions.
Evidence of meeting standards:
Students can:
-Show that the graph is a set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and an output.
-Give examples of functions that are not linear.
-Use functions to model relationships between quantities.
-Construct an equation to model a relationship between two quantities.
-Describe the relationship between two variables, in words, by analyzing a graph.
-Find the pattern of change (growth rate) and initial value of a function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values, and understand the meaning of both.
