Strand: FUNCTIONS - Interpreting Linear and Exponential Functions (F.IF)

Understand the concept of a linear or exponential function and use function notation. Recognize arithmetic and geometric sequences as examples of linear and exponential functions (Standards F.IF.1-3). Interpret linear or exponential functions that arise in applications in terms of a context (Standards F.IF.4-6). Analyze linear or exponential functions using different representations (Standards F.IF.7, 9).

Standard F.IF.3

Recognize that sequences are functions, sometimes defined recursively, whose domain is a subset of the integers. Emphasize arithmetic and geometric sequences as examples of linear and exponential functions. For example, the Fibonacci sequence is defined recursively by f(0) = f(1) = 1, f(n+1) = f(n) + f(n-1) for n ≥ 1.

• Inductive Reasoning video
  This video introduces and explains the topic.
• Introduction to the Materials (Math 1)
  Introduction to the Materials in the Mathematics One of the The MVP classroom experience begins by confronting students with an engaging task and then invites them to grapple with solving it. As students ideas emerge, take form, and are shared, the teacher orchestrates the student discussions and explorations towards a focused mathematical goal. As conjectures are made and explored, they evolve into mathematical concepts that the community of learners begins to embrace as effective strategies for analyzing and solving problems.
• Module 2: Linear & Exponential Functions - Student Edition (Math 1)
  The Mathematics Vision Project, Secondary Math One Module 2, Linear and Exponential Functions, begins with a learning cycle that introduces contexts with continuous domains and defining linear functions as having a constant rate of change and exponential functions as having a constant ratio over equal intervals.
• Module 2: Linear & Exponential Functions - Teacher Notes (Math 1)
  Mathematics Vision Project, Secondary Math One Module 2 Teacher Notes, Linear and Exponential Functions, begins with a learning cycle that introduces contexts with continuous domains and defining linear functions as having a constant rate of change and exponential functions as having a constant ratio over equal intervals.
• Module 3: Features of Functions - Student Edition (Math 1)
  The Mathematics Vision Project, Secondary Math One Module 3, Features of Functions, is the culminating functions module in Secondary Math I. In this module, students broaden their thinking about functions to relationships that are not either linear or exponential.
• Module 3: Features of Functions - Teacher Notes (Math 1)
