Teaching Functions {Grade 8}

One skill that students need to master in eighth grade is functions. In sixth and seventh grade students lay the foundations for equations and functions. Now that they are in eighth grade they are using the equation skills from sixth and seventh grade. Students often make mistakes with setting up the function table, making connections between the function table and graph or function table and equation. These are simple mistakes that you can prevent with practice.

I have listed here activities to review and practice Functions. I hope these help jump start your lesson planning. The key to getting your students involved in the learning process is to include interactive, visual, engaging activities for them to actively participate in.
