In Grades 6 and 7, students worked with data involving a single variable. This module introduces students to bivariate data. Students are introduced to a function as a rule that assigns exactly one value to each input. In this module, students use their understanding of functions to model the relationships of bivariate data. This module is important in setting a foundation for student's work in Algebra I.
