A function is like a machine that has an input and an output. Challenge scholars to look at the eight given points and determine the two functions that would fit four of the points each — one is linear and the other non-linear. The resource ends with challenge questions about the nature of the non-linear function and writing both functions from the given point.

Instructional Ideas

• Create additional grids with the points of two different functions for scholars to use as additional practice

Classroom Considerations

• Requires prior knowledge of coordinate pairs and graphing functions
• Slight formatting errors occur starting from page 75 on; these are on the portion used by the teacher and do not limit the way the resource is used

Pros

• Provides a rubric for grading and how to give partial credit
• Includes instruction tips

Cons

• None
