Objective
Students will be able to analyze and
describe patterns for given sequences in
order to find the missing term.

Students will be able to describe patterns

in word problems in order to interpret the
meaning of a sequence or term, according
to the problem.

Student will be able to group graphs based

on their appearance in order to describe
those same characteristics using
mathematical terminology.

State/ District Objectives

8.F.1: Understand that a function is a rule
that assigns to each input exactly one output.
The graph of a function is the set of ordered
pairs consisting of an input and the
corresponding output

corresponding output
8.F.5: Describe quantitatively the functional
relationship between two quantities by
analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is
increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear).
Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative
features of a function that has been
described verbally.

Assessment
Pre/Post Assessment #s 1&2
Describe the pattern in each sequence
and determine the next term of the
sequence
Pre/Post Assessment # 3
For this particular question, a word
problem is given and the following is
asked
Describe the pattern and interpret the
meaning of the last term in the context of
the situation
Pre/Post Assessment # 4
Classify the graph as discrete or
continuous, linear or nonlinear, and
increasing, decreasing, both increasing
and decreasing and neither increasing nor
decreasing
