Investigating relations and functionsMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This is an exploratory activity.  Students should have some prior knowledge of evaluating functions for given domain inputs using function notation.This lesson will walk students through using a table and plotting points.  By the end of the lesson students should walk away understanding that a line is infinitely many points.

Students observe patterns between the graph, x-intercepts, factored form, roots, equation, and zeros. They use the patterns they observed and the information given in one column to fill in the other columns.

In this self-checking activity, students will match 18 cards, identifying the slope, y-intercept, and slope-intercept form of each equation to match each of the six tables.
