Instructional Ideas
- Have pairs develop a scenario that can be modeled by given an equation
- Create a table with types of scenarios that can be modeled by linear, quadratic, or exponential functions
Classroom Considerations
- Arrange the room in order to promote pairs working together
- Lesson assumes the class is familiar with linear, exponential, and quadratic functions
- The third in a 10-module unit designed as the last unit in an Algebra I course
Pros
