Linear Functions and Proportionality
Connect linear equations, proportionality, and constant rates of change to linear functions. Young mathematicians learn how linear equations of the form y = mx + b can represent linear functions. They then explore examples of linear...
Curated OER
Polynomial Functions
In this polynomial functions activity, 11th graders solve and complete 8 different problems that include various polynomial functions. First, they define a polynomial function. Then, students write the polynomial part in standard form...
