The plot thickens to get a functional understanding. After a short review of plotting points on the coordinate plane, class members learn the difference between functions and relations in the second lesson in a series of nine. They show what they know through a homework assignment.

Concepts

coordinate pair, coordinate plane, graphing, plotting points, domain, range, linear, linear functions, linear equations, functions, relations, technology resources

Instructional Ideas

  • Spend some time with the class covering whether a relation is a function or not
  • Assign the Work It Out Worksheet as homework the day before to determine how much review of plotting points the class needs

Classroom Considerations

  • It is helpful if the class is already familiar with graphing on the coordinate plane and equations

Pros

  • The slide presentation has animations that aid the presentation, making it more interactive
  • The handouts are in doc format, so you can easily modify them

Cons

  • The homework assignment goes into more detail on some topics than the lesson
