Now that you have completed the
required tasks it is time to reflect and create. This process will be
done over a two-three day period, having one more class period where a portion
of instructional time will be set aside for each of the following.
1.
You will need to decide the best way to display or present a function.
Once you have decided which is best, write a two-three paragraph
argumentative essay explaining why the method you chose is the best method.
2.
You then need to think of a real life process that can be described as
a function (think gumball machine type problem). Describe this real life process using full sentences and explain why it is a
function.
3.
Finally you will make a 8.5 in. x 11 in. poster to displaying your real life process as
a function in the way you chose for your essay. You will then present
your poster to the class.
Your poster must include...
- Your essay attached to the bottom.
- Your real world problem.
- Your function notation that results from that real world problem, with at least 5 input output pairs shown.
- A conclusion that states whether or not your real world problem is a funtion, being sure to justify your answer.
