Math Merge Seminar 1:Task
What observations can we make?
Graph Part
Non-Function
-symmetrical with x-axis
-seemed to have some closing points
Function
-symmetrical with y-axis
-seemed to have symmetry
-Go one way on the x-axis
(Don't go and come back)
What are some generalizations we can make about symmetry and how the symmetry is different for a non-function vs. a function?
Table Part
Non-Function
Function
Do you think you could draw a graph and be fairly confident it is a function? a non-function?
The class is still in disequilibrium of the meaning of a function.
Looking at the tables of functions and non-functions, what observations can you make?
Equation Part
Function
-Doesn't have a y^2
-2 or more variables
Non-Function
-Has a y^2
-2 or less variables
