Knowledge
Students know:
- When the situation presented in a contextual problem is most accurately modeled by a linear, quadratic, exponential, absolute value or linear piecewise function.
- How to graph equations on a coordinate plane.
Skills
Students are able to:
- Write equations with two or more variables.
- Graph equations on a coordinate plane with appropriate scales and labels.
- Make predictions based on the graph.
Understanding
