Instructional Ideas
  • Spend some time with the class covering whether a relation is a function or not
  • Assign the Work It Out Worksheet as homework the day before to determine how much review of plotting points the class needs
Classroom Considerations
  • It is helpful if the class is already familiar with graphing on the coordinate plane and equations
Pros
  • The slide presentation has animations that aid the presentation, making it more interactive
  • The handouts are in doc format, so you can easily modify them
Cons
  • The homework assignment goes into more detail on some topics than the lesson
