Instructional Ideas

• Project the interactive and use it as the opening to a unit on functions
• Extend the activity to determine whether the graphs represent a function

Classroom Considerations

• Individuals should be aware of time graphs

• This resource is only available on an unencrypted HTTP website.It should be fine for general use, but don’t use it to share any personally identifiable information

Pros

• Includes a worksheet example of how to use the interactive
• Contains alignments to different textbook series

Cons

• The interactive confuses the issue of whether the graph is possible and whether it is a function
