Slim Goodbody X-Power: Functions

Description

Learning Algebra is easy with Slim Goodbody s X-Team! For Middle & High School Students Ages 12+ Meet the X-team and sign up for them as they use their logic and problem solving strategies to tackle tough academic challenges. In conjunction with history’s great mathematical minds … you ll assist solve the mystery of ALGEBRA with this fun and innovative path to learning math. 10 Programs in all! Intent and Mathematical Overview of Program: Functions (Gridlock) specializes in the definition of a function. Students develop a working definition of function that pertains to its formal definition in a situation that requires the X-team to make use of examples and non-examples to find characteristics of functions. This system begins with Holon in search of the X-team s assist to finish the Others plot to get rid of the rain forests. This case introduces functions as an observable phenomenon. The X-team explores functions when a observation causes R. J. to be placed in gridlock whilst the remainder of the X-team has to spot functions represented in graphs. Without knowing the formal definition of a function, the X-team has to make use of logical reasoning to decide the characteristics of a function. That is done through in search of patterns in graphs and tables of functions and non-functions. The concept functions are the ones relations by which no two ordered pairs within the set have the similar x-coordinate and different y-coordinates. This system ends with a final take a look at the table that shows the expansion of the rain forest deterioration. It’s in comparison to the Rumor Problem with regard to the expansion aspect. Principles and Standards for School Mathematics The Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2000) includes standards and benchmarks which can be related and aligned with the mathematical presentation on this program. These principles and standards have been followed on this program for Grades 6-8 and 9-12.
