Description
In this activity you are presenting the students with a fun and festive scenario! Santa has asked them to be the local Santa Letter Headquarters! They need to analyze how quickly the letters are coming in (one function) compared to how quickly letters can be processed by the local elves (second function). The materials include an alternative assignment (my Mail Center activity).
Want to take it a step further and actually become a Santa Letter Headquarters? Check out the Santa Letter Elementary activity for younger students, and see if there is a class interested. That set of materials contains everything you need to collect and respond to letters!

CCSSHSA-REI.A.1
Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of numbers asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation has a solution. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method.
CCSSHSA-REI.D.11
Explain why the πΉ-coordinates of the points where the graphs of the equations πΊ = π§(πΉ) and πΊ = π(πΉ) intersect are the solutions of the equation π§(πΉ) = π(πΉ); find the solutions approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where π§(πΉ) and/or π(πΉ) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
CCSSHSF-IF.B.4
For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship.
CCSSHSF-IF.B.5
Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes. For example, if the function π©(π―) gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble π― engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.
CCSSHSF-BF.A.1a
Determine an explicit expression, a recursive process, or steps for calculation from a context.
