Strand: FUNCTIONS - Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Models (F.LE)

Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems (Standard F.LE.3).
  • Comparing Investments
    This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to interpret exponential and linear functions.
  • FUNCTIONS - Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Models (F.LE) - Sec Math II Core Guide
    The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) and educators around the state of Utah developed these guides for the Secondary Mathematics II - Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Models (F.LE).
  • Functions and Everyday Situations
    This lesson unit is intended to help educators assess how well students are able to articulate verbally the relationships between variables arising in everyday contexts, translate between everyday situations and sketch graphs of relationships between variables, and interpret algebraic functions in terms of the contexts in which they arise. Students will also reflect on the domains of everyday functions and in particular whether they should be discrete or continuous.
  • Introduction to the Materials (Math 2)
    Introduction to the Materials in the Mathematics Two 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.
  • Modeling: Having Kittens
    This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to interpret a situation and represent the constraints and variables mathematically, select appropriate mathematical methods to use, make sensible estimates and assumptions and investigate an exponentially increasing sequence.
  • Module 1: Quadratic Functions - Student Edition (Math 2)
    The Mathematics Vision Project, Secondary Math Two Module 1, Quadratic Functions, picks up where students left off with linear and exponential functions, using the same types of diagrams and representations to introduce quadratic functions. The entire module focuses on the features of quadratic functions, comparing quadratics to other functions, and representing quadratic functions.
  • Module 1: Quadratic Functions - Teacher Edition (Math 2)
    The Mathematics Vision Project, Secondary Math Two Module 1, Quadratic Functions, picks up where students left off with linear and exponential functions, using the same types of diagrams and representations to introduce quadratic functions. The entire module focuses on the features of quadratic functions, comparing quadratics to other functions, and representing quadratic functions.
