Standards
Module 3: Functions and Models
L3.1 Graphing Relationships
L3.2 Understanding Relations and Functions

Homework: Please assign some exercises from pages

Activity: (refer to Student Edition page 103)

 Season Passes
Domain: Algebra

Instructional Emphasis: Understanding functions – Interpreting functions

Common Core State Standards:

F-IF.B.4: For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities,
and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship.
F-IF.A.1: Understand that a function from one set to another set assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range.
