Middle School Math - Unit 5: Functions & Volume

By the end of this unit, students will be able to:

Understand and Interpret Functions:

Target 26: Interpret the functional relationship between two quantities given a description or graph.
- - This includes finding the constant rate of change and noting increasing/decreasing/constant, linear or non-linear, and continuous or discrete.
Target 27: Explain why a relation is or is not a function.
- - This includes descriptions, mapping diagrams, tables, equations and graphs.
Target 28: Sketch a graph of a function given a variety of information.
