I will def. use this resource for students to include in their interactive notebooks. For me to use it as an anchor chart in my classroom, I would need to lines, font, etc to be bolder so it can be seen from a distance. Thanks!

This is a page that I laminated for my students. There are two copies in each work station tub for students to reference while working on their assignments!

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).

CCSS8.F.A.3

Interpret the equation 𝘺 = 𝘮𝘹 + 𝘣 as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function 𝘈 = 𝑠² giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight line.

CCSS8.F.B.5

Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.
