At the end of Unit 1, you will be able to (Do) …
- Understand and correctly interpret function notation. (F-IF.A.1-2)
- Determine inputs and outputs of functions. (F-IF.A.2)
- Determine whether a relationship is a function. (F-IF.A.1)
- Determine domain and range. (F-IF.A.1)
- Rewrite expressions with positive exponents. (8.EE.A.1)
- Interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity. (A-SSE.1b)
- Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of numbers asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation has a solution. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method. (A-REI.1)
- Solve linear equations with integer coefficients. (Checkpoint 1)
Unit Outline
Section 1.1 This section starts with some function puzzles that you will solve with your team. Then you will encounter some everyday situations in which you will investigate growth patterns. You will also investigate the characteristics of some graphs of nonlinear functions.
Section 1.2 This section further specifies how to describe the graph of a nonlinear function. You will investigate what it means for a relationship to be a function, learn how to use function notation, and determine the domain and range of a function.
Section 1.3 You will rewrite expressions with exponents in equivalent, useful forms.
