Instructional Ideas
- Lead a discussion on what is precise enough when providing solutions to real-world problems
- Provide a review of when points should be connected or left as discrete points
Classroom Considerations
- A complete understanding of linear, exponential, and quadratic functions is needed
- Graph paper and a calculator would be helpful
- The sixth module in a ten-module unit as part of an Algebra I course
Pros
- Builds upon previous lessons
- Specifically designed to be part of a culminating unit
Cons
- None
