Helen Davis, Math, Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School
Synopsis
The purpose of this unit is to provide a hands on experience with comparing functions. In this unit the students will be able to define, evaluate and compare linear functions. The students also will be able to use linear functions to model relationships through quantities. This curriculum is looking to be cross curricular between science and mathematics. The science portion gives you the hands on interaction needed for the linear functions in this unit. The goal of this unit is to have the students take part in a lab where the goal would be to define, evaluate and compare linear functions. The students also will be able to use linear functions to model relationships through quantities. The standards that are being covered from the new North Carolina 8th Grade Common Core State Standards. The standard asks that the students demonstrate mastery in comparing properties of two linear functions each represented in different ways.
