Description

You are starting a business! The business can be selling any concrete item that you want (that is school appropriate of course). However your business must be selling a product for a consistent price and this price must be between $10 and $30. Your business must also require a start-up or initial fee for customers that must be between $50 and $100. If you want to change your parameters, you must get it approved by me!

This is a project used at the end of a unit on linear functions. Students will come up with a business idea selling a product. They will be required to create a function for their business and display it in table, graph, and equation form. They will then complete a variety of other tasks from creating a billboard to figuring out the break even point for their business to having a business meeting with another group to compare their functions.

At the conclusion of this project, students will present their business idea to the class and a winner will be chosen! Think Shark Tank!

My kids really liked this project. I think it could have had more math in it but it was a good way to end the semester.

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.
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.
Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (𝘹, 𝘺) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.
