Linear Functions & Graphs
8 lessons, about 20 days with the quiz, review and test, in one download: Functions Definition, Function Tables and Rules, Graphing Linear Equations, Rate of Change and Initial Value, Constructing Linear Functions, Comparing Functions, Interpreting Graphs, Sketching Graphs from a Story.
8 lessons, in teaching order
Built to 8.F.A.1, 8.F.A.3, 8.F.B.4, 8.F.A.2, 8.F.B.5. Each lesson has guided notes, practice, an exit ticket, a homework page, worked answer keys and a click-by-click Teacher Deck.
- Lesson 1 Functions Definition I can decide whether a relation is a function from a list of pairs, a table, a description or a graph, by checking that each input has exactly one output.
- Lesson 2 Function Tables and Rules I can use a function rule to find outputs and fill a table, find an input from an output, and find a rule from a table, then check it.
- Lesson 3 Graphing Linear Equations I can graph y = mx + b from a table as a straight line, decide from an equation, a table or a graph whether a function is linear, and give examples of functions that are not linear.
- Lesson 4 Rate of Change and Initial Value I can find the rate of change and the initial value of a linear situation from a story, a table or a graph, and say what they mean, with units.
- Lesson 5 Constructing Linear Functions I can write a linear function y = mx + b from a story, a table, a graph or two points, and explain what its rate of change m and initial value b mean in the situation, with units.
- Lesson 6 Comparing Functions I can read the rate of change and the initial value from an equation, a table, a graph or words, and compare two functions given in different forms.
- Lesson 7 Interpreting Graphs I can read a graph piece by piece, describe each piece as increasing, decreasing or constant and as linear or nonlinear, read a distance-time graph, and sketch a graph from a story.
- Lesson 8 Sketching Graphs from a Story I can sketch a graph from a story: one piece for each part of the story, first to last, each going up, flat or down, straight or curving.
