In 8th grade, students analyze, create and represent linear and simple non-linear functions in multiple ways to make connections between them, including mathematical concepts related to bivariate data and Pythagorean Theorem, and “real-world” situations like those arising from two & three dimensional space.
Geogebra Applet (10.2)
Visual Patterns Warm Ups Focus on notice, wonder, and draw the next pattern;
build on it in the next 2 units
Bravelle’s Spiral (Brad Fulton) Use as is focusing on the area of one “arm” to deal with negative exponents and those equivalent to them.
Save the work or use again in the next unit to review the Pythagorean theorem & Irrationals (finding side lengths).
