MCC8F1: Understand that a function is a
rule that assigns to each input exactly one
output. The graph of a function is the set
of ordered pairs consisting of an input
and the corresponding output.
How do you write the rule for a function
given a set of ordered pair?

How do you determine if relations are
functions?
How do you determine the domain and
range of a graphed relation or function?
Watch a YouTube video on how to
write a function rule.
Use SmartBoard to demonstrate how
to determine if sets of ordered pairs or
a graph is a function or not.
Students will play a quick game of
pictionary to open the lesson. Students
will work in pairs and one student will
be given a graph and must describe it
to their partner and the partner must
draw it from the description.
Students will practice using the
handout Determining Rule. Partner
work to check each other’s work.
Students will work with a partner and
will determine if a graph or table is a
function or not by using Identifying
Function Property task cards and will
be prepared to discuss and share
reasoning.
Students will create and present a set
of ordered pairs or a XY table that
represents a function and one that is
not a function and share with the class.
Students will do a ticket out the door
explaining how to apply the vertical
line test to a graph to determine if it is
a function or not.
Students will engage in whole group
discussion about what kind of words
they were using to describe their
graphs to their partner. Students will
be guided through several graphs from
the game and will mark the graphs
domain and range with different
colored pencils.
Students will be given an exit slip with
3 drawings on it and must state the
domain and range of each relation. I
will be able to determine quickly who
understands and who doesn't.

How do you determine the domain and

How do you determine whether a
function is a one to one relationship
and has a constant rate of change
(slope).

Differentiation Strategies
(targeting student growth)
Students will be grouped in 4-5 based
on the results of their exit cards from
yesterday. The students who "got it"
will be given some higher level
questions to practice; those who
"mostly go it" will be given some
basic practices questions and some
higher level questions, those who
"didn't get it" will be given more
examples and guided practice before
moving on.
Students will use iPads to go to
Kahn Academy and use the
interactive site to determine
domain and range of relations.

• Online manipulatives
• Tiered instruction
• Groups
Students will work with a partner with
a set of task cards to identify functions
from a graph and their corresponding
map. Match the graph with with its
map and determine if it's a one to one
function; if it has a constant rate of
change; and if it's linear determine it's
rate of change (slope).
Students will share their results of
their task with the class.
