Unit: Functions Introduction

Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4

Common Core and/or Essential Standards: A-SSE.1 Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its

context.★

a. Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients. b. Interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity. For example, interpret P(1+r)n as the product of P and a factor not depending on P. Note: At this level, limit to linear expressions, exponential expressions with integer exponents and quadratic expressions. Move this?? A-CED.4 Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations. For example, rearrange Ohm’s law V = IR to highlight resistance R. Note: At this level, limit to formulas that are linear in the variable of interest, or to formulas involving squared or cubed variables. A-REI.10 Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line). Note: At this level, focus on linear and exponential equations. A-REI.11 Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Note: At this level, focus on linear and exponential functions. Understand the concept of a function and use function notation. F-IF.1 Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x).

Transfer: Students will be able to independently use their learning to…

use the calculator to create tables and graphs for a given function,

evaluate functions for specific values,

identify the domain and range of a function in the context of a problem, SKILLED AT

describe patterns of change between two quantities

F-IF.2 Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret statements that use function notation in terms of a context. Note: At this level, the focus is linear and exponential functions. F-IF.3 Recognize that sequences are functions, sometimes defined recursively, whose domain is a subset of the integers. For example, the Fibonacci sequence is defined recursively by f(0) = f(1) = 1, f(n+1) = f(n) + f(n-1) for n ≥ 1. Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context. F-IF.4 For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity. Note: At this level, focus on linear, exponential and quadratic functions; no end behavior or periodicity. F-IF.5 Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. For example, if the function h(n) gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble n engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an

appropriate domain for the function.★

Note: At this level, focus on linear and exponential functions. F-IF.9 Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a graph of one quadratic function and an algebraic expression for another, say which has the larger maximum. Note: At this level, focus on linear, exponential, and quadratic functions. F-BF.1 Write a function that describes a relationship between two

quantities.★

a. Determine an explicit expression, a recursive process, or steps for calculation from a context.

Meaning

Understandings: Students will understand that…

a graph is the collection of all points that are solutions of a given equation, graphs and tables of values can be used to estimate solutions of equations, adding to get the NEXT value is a linear relationship, multiplying to get the NEXT value is an exponential relationship, different functions change in different ways (adding vs. multiplying), contextual situations may change the natural domain/range of a function

Draw activities from Core Plus Math I

Draw activities from Carnegie Learning Algebra

Sequencing activity from CL Alg. I

Strategies:

Start with a sequence activity that has a low entry point to hook students.

Begin the unit with the use of function notation in the context of a problem. (e.g. Taxi: $2.50 + $0.75/mile type problems ==> c = 2.50 + 0.75m.) and extend to C(m) = 2.50 + 0.75m. Discuss appropriate inputs (domain, m > 0, etc…) and possible outputs (range).

Extend to tables and graphs. Notice that for linear functions, equal changes in x are paired with equal changes in y; for exponential functions, equal changes in x are associated with proportionate changes in y. Notice how these relationships are displayed graphically.

Write NEXT-NOW rules for linear and exponential relationships.

Recognize a graph as being linear, exponential, or quadratic and write a formula to match the graph.

Observe rates of change in the graph (linear- constant change, exponential- proportional change).

Look at intercepts of graphs and notice how they’re associated with inputs/outputs of 0, and what significance they have in the context of a problem.

Work with two or more functions and recognize intersection points as being points of commonality between the functions.

Write algebraic formulas to represent real world relationships (e.g. more than, the product of,…, or “population starts at 3.7 thousand and increases at a rate of 4% per year.”)

Unit: 5 Exponential Functions

Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4

Common Core and/or Essential Standards: N-RN.1 Explain how the definition of the meaning of rational exponents follows from extending the properties of integer exponents to those values, allowing for a notation for radicals in terms of rational exponents. For example, we define 51/3 to be the cube root of 5 because we want (51/3)3 = 5(1/3)3 to hold, so (51/3)3 must equal 5. N-RN.2 Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the properties of exponents. Note: At this level, focus on fractional exponents with a numerator of 1. A-SSE.1 Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context.★ a. Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients. b. Interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity. Forexample, interpret P(1+r)n as the product of P and a factor not depending on P. Note: At this level, limit to linear expressions, exponential expressions with integer exponents and quadratic expressions. A-SSE.2 Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. For example, see x4 – y4 as (x2)2 – (y2)2, thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (x2 – y2)(x2 + y2). A-CED.1 Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions. Note: At this level, focus on linear and exponential functions. A-CED.2 Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities;graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales. Note: At this level, focus on linear, exponential and quadratic. Limit to situations that involve evaluating exponential functions for integer inputs. A-REI.10 Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is

Transfer: Students will be able to independently use their learning to… write and rewrite exponents in exponential and radical form, interpret and model real-world exponential data in graphical, equational, and table format to solve problems.

the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line). Note: At this level, focus on linear and exponential equations. A-REI.11 Explain why the x-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where f(x) and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Note: At this level, focus on linear and exponential functions. F-IF.4 For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity. Note: At this level, focus on linear, exponential and quadratic functions; no end behavior or periodicity. F-IF.5 Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. For example, if the function h(n) gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble n engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.★ Note: At this level, focus on linear and exponential functions. F-IF.6 Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as atable) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph.★ Note: At this level, focus on linear functions and exponential functions whose domain is a subset ofthe integers. F-IF.7 Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases.★ e. Graph exponential and logarithmic functions, showing intercepts and end behavior, andtrigonometric functions, showing period, midline, and amplitude. Note: At this level, for part e, focus on exponential functions only. F-IF.8 Write a function defined by an expression in different but

equivalent forms to reveal and explain different properties of the function. b. Use the properties of exponents to interpret expressions for exponential functions. For example, identify percent rate of change in functions such as y = (1.02)t, y = (0.97)t, y = (1.01)12t, y = (1.2)t/10, and classify them as representing exponential growth or decay. F-IF.9 Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a graph of one quadratic function and an algebraic expression for another, say which has the larger maximum.Note: At this level, focus on linear, exponential, and quadratic functions. F-BF.1 Write a function that describes a relationship between two quantities.★ a. Determine an explicit expression, a recursive process, or steps for calculation from a context. b. Combine standard function types using arithmetic operations. For example, build a function that models the temperature of a cooling body by adding a constant function to a decaying exponential, and relate these functions to the model. Note: At this level, limit to addition or subtraction of constant to linear, exponential or quadratic functions or addition of linear functions to linear or quadratic functions. F-BF.2 Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and translate between the two forms. Note: At this level, formal recursive notation is not used. Instead, use of informal recursive notation (such as NEXT = NOW + 5 starting at 3) is intended. Build new functions from existing functions. F-BF.3 Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k f(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. Include recognizing even and odd functions from their graphs and algebraic expressions for them.Note: At this level, limit to vertical and horizontal translations of linear and exponential functions. Even and odd functions are not addressed.

F-LE.2 Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table). Interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model. F-LE.5 Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context. S-ID.6 Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related.

a. Fit a function to the data; use functions fitted to data to solve problems in the context of the data. Use given functions or choose a function suggested by the context. Emphasize linear and exponential models.

Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4

Common Core and/or Essential Standards: A-CED.4 Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations. For example, rearrange Ohm’s law V = IR to highlight resistance R. Note: At this level, limit to formulas that are linear in the variable of interest, or to formulas involving squared or cubed variables. G-CO.1 Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment, based on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc. Note: At this level, distance around a circular arc is not addressed. Expressing Geometric Properties with Equations G-­GPE Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically. G-GPE.4 Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically. For example, prove or disprove that a figure defined by four given points in the coordinate plane is a rectangle; prove or disprove that the point (1, √3) lies on the circle centered at the origin and containing the point (0, 2). G-GPE.5 Prove the slope criteria for parallel and perpendicular lines and use them to solve geometric problems (e.g., find the equation of a line parallel or perpendicular to a given line that passes through a given point). G-GPE.6 Find the point on a directed line segment between two given points that partitions the segment in a given ratio. Note: At this level, focus on finding the midpoint of a segment.

G-GPE.7 Use coordinates to compute perimeters of polygons and

areas of triangles and rectangles, e.g., using the distance formula. Explain volume formulas and use them to solve problems.

Birthday Activity

Math books, worksheets, internet sites

Strategies:

1. Begin with an entry question (Why do the “richest” cities have the most

homeless on the streets?) to hook students into considering types of center

and spread. H

2. Introduce the Essential Questions and discuss the culminating unit

performance task (Recruiting Analysis). Show students a slideshow of the

same data shown with different graphs to discuss which ones show the data

“best”. W

3. Note: Key vocabulary terms are introduced as needed by the various

learning activities and performance tasks. Students read and discuss

relevant selections from the textbook and supplementary materials to support

the learning activities and tasks. E

4. Review median and mean(discuss each on the data sets in the slideshow)

and then present concept attainment lesson on range, standard deviation,

and variance. Have students practice with data sets. E

5. Give quiz on mean, median, range, standard deviation, and variation. E

6. Present concept attainment lesson on boxplots and histograms. Have

students complete birthdays activity to create human boxplot. Practice

boxplots independently on multiple sets of data. E

7. Present concept attainment lesson on Normal Curves. In groups, do

activity based on assessing if Taxes are Normal. E

8. Review and discuss everything taught in unit so far.

Discussion question: Which types of center and spread is a more accurate

representation of data? How do you choose when to use a particular

measure of center and spread? R

9. Working in cooperative groups, students analyze a set of data with median

and mean and decide which is “best”. Then, they must represent that

measure of center and spread graphically. Teacher observes and coaches

students as they work. (each group has a different data set) E-2

10. Have groups share their analyses and discuss as a class. E, E-2 (Note:

Teacher collects and reviews the analyses to look for misunderstandings

needing instructional attention.)

11. Each student finds a “data set” that appeals to their interests and designs

an illustrated visual of their choosing. The visual will include measures of

center and spread and why they chose that certain representation. This

activity is completed outside of class. E, T

12. Students exchange visuals with members of their group for a peer

assessment based on a criteria list. Allow students to make revisions based

on feedback. R, E-2,T

13. Present content attainment lesson on two-way frequency. Students work

independently and in groups to complete practice problems. E

14. Students complete Performance Task: Recruiting Analysis.

These are saved and presented to the class. Students will do peer-

assessments and self-assessments based on the rubric provided.
