Lesson: Patterns of Growth in Tables and Graphs Mathematics • 8th Grade

In this lesson, we will learn how to identify and work with patterns of growth in tables and graphs.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

identify which of two linear functions given in different forms (including words, equations, tables, and graphs) has a greater
- rate of change,
- initial value,
solve real-world problems by comparing linear functions given in different forms.

Q1:

Determine which of the given functions has a greater rate of change.

(a)

(b)

Q2:

Ethan was 45 inches tall. After 15 months, he was 54 inches tall. Determine the monthly rate of change of his height.

Q3:

Find the rate of change represented in the given graph.
