This math unit begins by developing students' abilities to interpret and identify different types of function graphs based on their corresponding algebraic equations. Initially, students match specific graphs to their equations and recognize the type of function each equation represents. The unit progresses to enhance understanding of function domains and ranges through visual representations, starting from identifying domains and ranges, to determining whether given relations qualify as functions based on their visual mappings. Further along, the unit delves deeper into defining and describing domains and ranges more formally. Students learn to translate number line visuals into verbal descriptions and vice versa, convert verbal descriptions into mathematical inequalities without unions, and then express these inequalities using set builder notation. Finally, the unit teaches students to transform set builder notations into interval notations and accurately represent these intervals on a number line, further solidifying their comprehension of domain and range concepts in the context of functions.Skills you will learn include:
