In this lesson, you will work with problems that show patterns of change and be able to describe the patterns in mathematical terms. A new term, quadratic, will be used to describe patterns with squared terms.
When you finish this lesson, you will be able to:
- Describe how a pattern is growing.
- Tell whether a pattern is growing linearly, exponentially, or quadratically.
- Explain that an expression with a squared term is called quadratic.
Here are the activities that will help you reach those goals:
- 7.2.1: Squares in a Geometric Pattern
- 7.2.2: Constant and Exponential Change
- 7.2.2: Self Check
- 7.2.2: Additional Resources
- 7.2.3: Quadratic Expressions
- 7.2.3: Self Check
- 7.2.3: Additional Resources
- 7.2.4: Quadratic Relationships
After that, you’ll practice and review.
- 7.2.5: Practice
- 7.2.6: Lesson Summary
