Unit Goals and Objectives:
Students will be able to represent relations as sets of ordered pairs, tables, mappings, and graphs.
Students will be able to determine whether a relation is a function.
Students will be able to find function values.
Students will be able to solve linear equations with two variables in respect to one variable.
Students will be able to construct a graph that represents linear equations/inequalities.
Students will be able to identify functions by using the vertical line test and the definition of a function.
Students will be able to construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities.
Students will be able to solve linear equations with more than two variables in respect to one variable.
Students will be able to support their rationale by using at least two vocabularies in their written assessment.
Students will be able to construct scatter plots for bivariate measurements and explain their investigations of patterns of
association between two quantities.
Unit Summary:
The goal of this unit is to implement real world mathematical problems related to solving linear equations with two or more
variables. There is a two day lesson that involves students coming up with their own real world mathematical problem that relates to
solving linear equations with two variables. Ultimately, the unit introduces the concept of correlation and the line of best fit by a
bungee Barbie activity at the end. This will allow students to dig into the mathematics by providing a hands-on activity for them.
