Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Describing Functions. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
Interpret real world situations as functions in context.
Describe the functional relationships qualitatively, paying attention to the general shape of the graph without concern for specific numerical values.
Describe the functional relationships qualitatively to determine where the function is increasing or decreasing; linear or nonlinear; or both.
Proceed from left to right and describe what happens to the output as the input value increases.
From the graph alone infer meaning from a function.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What do "m" and "b" stand for in y = mx + b? What is the difference between a linear and nonlinear function? What does the graph of a linear function look like?
After the Game
What is happening to the x and y values if a function is "increasing"? What does the graph of an increasing, decreasing, and constant function look like? How did analyzing graphical information help us to know how the athletes performed in their races?
