MGSE8.F.1 Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.
MGSE8.F.2 Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions).
Essential Question(s): 1. What is a function?
2. What are the characteristics of a function?
3. How do you determine if relations are functions?
4. How is a function different from a relation?
5. Why is it important to know which variable is the independent variable?
6. How can a function be recognized in any form?
7. What is the best way to represent a function?
8. How do you represent relations and functions using tables, graphs, words, and algebraic equations? / GPS Task or Teacher Design Task
