Student Learning Targets:

Knowledge Targets

• I can recognize that a change in the independent variable (x) creates a change in the dependent variable (y).
• I can recognize which relationships between independent (x) and dependent (y) variables are linear.

Reasoning Targets

• I can evaluate the function (equation) for the values (input) given.
• I can compare relationships between the independent (x) and dependent (y) using a graph (plotting ordered pairs).

Product Targets

• I can represent a real-world problem with function rules (equations), input/output tables, and graphs.
