Instructional Ideas
- Prior to working examples, have class members create tables of data that could be modeled by linear, quadratic, or exponential functions
- Create a matching activity with a set of tables and corresponding types of functions
Classroom Considerations
- The lesson assumes pupils recognize the shape of linear, quadratic, and exponential functions
- Use word processing programs to assist with journaling
- The second in a ten-module unit designed for the last unit in an Algebra I course
Pros
- Scaffolding suggestions are provided for the teacher throughout the lesson
- Exit ticket provided in order to assess understanding
Cons
- None
