This week in math, we will continue with the function unit. We will review the quiz from last week and continue to review identifying functions from: ordered pairs, mapping diagrams, tables & graphs. Students will also identify functions from verbal expressions and word problems.
Students will learn to write rules for relations (functions and non functions) and distinguishing between linear and non linear relationships. They will also apply function rules (given a function rule and a set of input values, students will find the corresponding output values).
The essence of mathematics is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple. ~S. Gudder

Welcome to my 8th grade math blog.
It will serve as my primary means of keeping you informed about your child's math class. I encourage you to visit often to stay abreast as we move through the 8th grade Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS).

Week at a Glance: January 28, 2013
This week in math, we will begin the functions unit. We will start the unit by unpacking the standards to ensure that students understand what they are expected to learn. Students will work on identifying functions from a variety of situations:
*set of ordered pairs
*mapping diagrams
*tables
*graphs
Students will have a quiz on Friday. The quiz will require them to use different methods to determine if relationships are functions. It is important that they can explain their reasoning. They need to be able to articulate how the input values determine whether or not the relation is a function.
