Why does my child’s homework looks so different?
• Connected Math• More exploratory and investigative • Higher level thinking• Real life application
Old Standards
• PO 4. Translate between different representations of linear equations using symbols, graphs, tables, or written descriptions.
Common Core Standards
• 8.F.4. Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.
