Functions

Lesson #: 4
Date:
Subject: Foundations and Pre-Calculus
Grades: 10
Rationale:
This lesson introduces students to the idea of functions, which is important for the following unit
on linear relations. Students will learn to apply information from the rest of the unit to specific
cases of relations.
Big Ideas:
- Analyzing simulations and data allows us to notice trends and relationships.
Curriculum Competency:
- Communicate mathematical thinking in many ways
- Use tools or technology to analyze relationships and test conjectures
Content:
- relationships among data, graphs, and situations
Learning Intentions Activity Assessment

-Distinguish a function from - Notes Whatever students produce

a relation - Practice Problems from their station(s)
-Every function is a relation, - Stations
but not every relation is a - Go fish
function - Quizizz
- Dice lab
- foldable
Prerequisite Concepts and Skill:
Students need to know:
- How to represent relations in many different ways
- Domain and range
