 * Grade: 8 Unit: 3 Week: 5 Dates: 1/7-1/11 **
 * Content: Writing Equations to Describe Functions **

How are functions used to describe relationships that happen in our lives?
 * Theme Essential Question: **

How do you write an equation for a function given a table, graph, or description?
 * Essential Questions: **


 * Standards **
 * 8. F.3. Interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function A = s2 giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight line.
 * 8. F.4. Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.


 * Objectives **
 * The student will write linear equations from a table.
 * The student will write linear equations from a graph.
 * The student will write linear equations from a word problem.

In this lesson students should be able to work from all representations (verbal, table, graph, or equation). They will require ample opportunities to move from one representation to another. It is important that they communicate how each representation is interconnected and how to use each representation.
 * Reflection and/or Comments from your PCSSD 8th Grade Curriculum Team **

**http://www.azed.gov/wp-content/uploads/PDF/MathGr8.pdf** (Taken from **Ohio Dept of Education Mathematics Model Curriculum 6-28-2011** ) Distance time problems are notorious in mathematics. In this cluster, they serve the purpose of illustrating how the rates of two objects can be represented, analyzed and described in different ways: graphically and algebraically. Emphasize the creation of representative graphs and the meaning of various points. Then compare the same information when represented in an equation.

 * Students will continue creating a portfolio detailing their growth pertaining to the topics addressed throughout this unit on functions. The Entry provided follows the theme of construction repair and remodel
 * Entry #4
 * A plumber charges $25 fee for coming to fix a leaky faucet and $10 for each hour he works.
 * Create a table that shows how much they pay for each of the first 10 hours.
 * Create a graph with the information from the table.
 * Write the equation representing the plumber charge.
 * Explain how this equation is obtained from the table.
 * Explain how this equation is obtained from the graph.
 * Complete your explanation, by showing how the two ways of finding the equation (table and graph) are related.
 * What is the meaning of slope in this problem?
 * What is the meaning of the y-intercept in this problem?
 * Use the table, graph, and equation to determine the cost of the plumber working 15 hours.
 * If the plumber works for 25 hours, use the table, graph, and equation to find how much he will charge.


 * Key Questions **
 * What is the process to write a linear equation from a table?
 * What is the process to write a linear equation from a graph?
 * What is the process to write a linear equation from a word problem?
 * How do you interpret the rate of change (slope) and initial value (y-intercept) in terms of the situation it models?

Given a table, graph, or a word problem that produces a constant rate of change, the student can write a linear equation.
 * Observable Student Behaviors **

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4. Model with mathematics. 5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 6. Attend to precision. 7. Look for and make use of structure. 8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. ||
 * Mathematical Practices

Input, output, domain, range, independent and dependent variable, linear equation, linear function, rate of change, unit rate, constant rate of change or constant, slope, slope-intercept form, derive
 * Vocabulary **

Determine if a relation is a function from the mapping diagram, ordered pairs, or graph. Use the graph to determine if it is linear. (Student Exploration Sheet & Teacher Guide Available) Compare the slope ‑ intercept form of a linear equation to its graph. Vary the coefficients and explore how the graph changes in response. Compare the graph of a linear function to its rule and to a table of its values. Change the function by dragging two points on the line. Examine how the rule and table change. (Student Exploration Sheet & Teacher Guide Available) Create a graph of a runner's position versus time and watch the runner complete a 40-yard dash based on the graph you made. Notice the connection between the slope of the line and the speed of the runner. What will the runner do if the slope of the line is zero? What if the slope is negative? Add a second runner (a second graph) and connect real-world meaning to the intersection of two graphs. (Student Exploration Sheet & Teacher Guide Available) Experiment with a system of two lines representing a cat ‑ and ‑ mouse chase. Adjust the speeds of the cat and mouse and the head start of the mouse, and immediately see the effects on the graph and on the chase. Connect real ‑ world meaning to slope, y ‑ intercept, and the intersection of lines. Find the current balance and the interest charged on an investment using the graph of the interest function and by directly calculating.
