Here are the activities that helped you reach those goals:

  • 1.3.1: Finding a Relationship between xx and yy
    • In this activity, you brainstormed ways to find the relationship between variables in a table.
  • 1.3.2: Describing Relationships Using Words and Equations
    • In this activity, you matched tables with the equations that could model the relationships in each table.
    • 1.3.2: Self Check
    • 1.3.2: Additional Resources
  • 1.3.3: Identifying and Representing Relationships
    • In this activity, you created tables from a situation and then wrote an equation to model the relationship.
