Generate and Analyze Patterns (Level C, Operations and Algebraic Thinking 4.OA.5)

Look relationships between quantities (Level C Ratios 6.RP.1 & 2)

Show the relationship in a rule, equation, table and graph (Level C, Equations, Level D Number System 6.EE.9, 6.RP.3a)

Define and evaluate linear functions (Level D Functions 8.F.1, 8.F.4, Level E Functions F.BF.1)

My Focus This Term

Button Pattern

Functions as Relations

Tutor Sim: Using knowledge gained about functions and applying it to ski slopes

Puzzle – continuing the pattern Project – designing a roller coaster

Projects are open-ended, allows for individual creativity – many are STEM related
