Introduction to Functions and Function Notation
Students will understand the concept of a function as a rule that assigns each input to exactly one output, using function notation f(x).
Key Questions
- Explain the definition of a function and differentiate it from a general relationship.
- Analyze how function notation f(x) represents the output of a function for a given input x.
- Construct a simple function rule and generate an input-output table for it.

5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
