To help students apply the math in this chapter to real-life applications, we've included two Internet activities. Students will use tongue twisters to collect data, and then create scatter plots and graphs to display relationships in sets of data. They will also note distances between landmarks in San Francisco, write equations, and graph functions.
These teaching notes can be printed for quick referencing.
In this chapter students will:
- build on their knowledge of algebra skills learned in Chapter 1
- learn to predict trends
- classify data as continuous or discreet
- identify dependent and independent variables in tables and graphs
- write rules from tables and words
- examine three views of a function
- study families of functions
- use tree diagrams and sample space to learn about some probability concepts
- make predictions about real-world situations such as mall promotions
Prerequisite Skills
- plotting ordered pairs
- drawing and interpreting graphs
- reading tables
- using the order of operations
- modeling equations
- using function notation
