8th Grade Unit 4: Functions Clear Expectations 2 Weeks

Prerequisite Skills:
Identify ordered pairs on a coordinate plane
UNIT OVERVIEW: In this unit students will learn the concept of a function (exactly one value to each input) any why
functions are necessary for describing everyday life. They will have to determine if a relation is a function using different
representations (graphs, tables, equations, ordered pairs & mapping diagrams). They will have to describe functions in
different forms and determine if they are linear/non-linear, increasing/decreasing & proportional/non-proportional. They will
also have to analyze/sketch qualitative graphs comparing two quantities that represent real-life situations.

Learning Target 1: I can identify and represent functions in different form

8.F.1
Objective
Example
A) determine if a relation is a
function from the following
o Graphs
o Tables
o Ordered pairs
o Equations
o Mapping diagrams

Learning Target 2: I can describe characteristics of functions in different forms

8.F.1/8.F.3
Objective
Example
A) Determine if a function is linear or
non-linear from graphs, tables & equations
