⭐ What’s Included
- Scaffolded Guided Notes (clear examples + structured steps for evaluating functions)
- Guided Practice CER Activity (students analyze a common misconception using Claim–Evidence–Reasoning)
- Leveled Practice (3 Tiers)
- Level 1: Below grade level
- Level 2: On grade level
- Level 3: Above grade level / enrichment
- Exit Ticket aligned to 8.F.1 & 8.F.2
