F-IF-1: Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the
range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function
and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x.
F-IF-2: Use function notation, evaluate functions for inputs in their domains, and interpret
F-IF-7a: Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple
cases and using technology for more complicated cases. Graph linear and quadratic functions and show

Content
This lesson will not have a lot of teacher interaction as the guided discovery is built into the activity.
By limiting my interaction, the students will play around with the ideas more in order to discover
the underlying concepts. This material will be reviewed during the next class period.
