In this lesson plan, students will explore ways that mathematics are used in basketball. Students will explore the concept of a function and will learn to use function notation. Students will recognize, describe, and represent quadratic...

In this task, students are shown a table with linear, quadratic, and exponential functions at various values of x and are asked to match the function type to each data set and explain their reasoning. Aligns with F-LE.A.1.b and F-LE.A.1.c.

For this task, learners are presented with data about latitude and the percentage of the Earth's surface north of each latitude line. They are to use this data to sketch a graph, analyze it, and build an understanding of an invertible...

The purpose of this task is to introduce students to an exponential decay function in the form f(x) = abx, with a concrete interpretation of the decay factor b. A table shows the rebound height of a basketball for each successive bounce....

This task asks students to analyze a set of data about the height of a basketball for each time it bounces. They choose a model that reasonably fits the data and use the model to answer questions about the physical context. This variant...
