Lesson 2: Solving by Graphing
Duration of Days: 2
Lesson Objective
Students will represent the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output graphically and use these graphs to compare properties of functions
How does the graph of a function represent the relationship between input and output?
How can we use graphs to compare different linear functions?
8.F.A.1: Understand that the graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.
This lesson focuses on the visual representation of functions. Students will identify and produce input and output pairs for functions and plot them to analyze functional forms (DOK 2).
Incorrectly plotting ordered pairs (confusing x and y coordinates).
Struggling to translate a rule or table into a continuous line on a graph.
