Compatibility

For optimal use, I highly recommend printing this resource. While digital tools can be incredibly useful in many contexts, some of the questions in this resource involve tasks that are best completed with pencil and paper. Printed versions of the resource provide students with the physical space they need to work through these tasks and fully engage with the material.

Instructional Video

In order to provide the best possible learning experience for your students, I've included a QR code link to a video that I created to assist with using this worksheet. While the video is not professionally produced, it can be an incredibly helpful tool for students who are learning remotely, were absent during the activity, or are homeschooling. Additionally, it can serve as a substitute lesson plan in case of unexpected absences or classroom disruptions.

The video includes several examples and provides step-by-step instructions that can help students complete the activity successfully. By offering this additional resource, we hope to provide your students with the support they need to master the concepts covered in the worksheet.

Math Standards

Aligned with common core standards: Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally. Include information about changes in the behavior of the function using terms such as increasing, constant, and decreasing. Items specifications for Florida’s B.E.S.T. standards: MA.8.F.1 Define, evaluate and compare functions. MA.912.F.1.6 Compare key features of linear and nonlinear functions each represented algebraically, graphically, in tables or written descriptions.
