Algebraic Relationships

MPS Learning Target #5 MPS Learning Target #6 MPS Learning Target #7 MPS Learning Target #8
Represent and describe functional relationships in tables, graphical representations , and symbolic forms, and identify whether they translate into linear or exponential relationships Use reasoning abilities to perceive patterns and identify relationships in order to generalize a rule that characterizes the rate of change among variables in functional relationships. Represent and solve equations and inequalities using different methods (e.g. informally, graphically, using generalized properties, and with technology) and communicate why a results makes sense.
