Model Curriculum Units
Patterns with Linear, Quadratic, and Exponential Functions

Unit Summary

PATTERNS WITH LINEAR, QUADRATIC, AND EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS

10th grade

4 lessons

This unit provides students with opportunities to extend various patterns in order to find specific terms in a pattern, by exploring linear, quadratic, and exponential functions.

This unit consists of four lessons.  Investigations include comparing the properties of the functions such as domain and range, parameter changes, and recursive and explicit rules for the functions. 

Handouts including graphic organizers
