Teaching and response guide
- Begin with: What is the rate of change in the table?
- Connect the response to: Use y = 2x + 1 to find y at x = 4.
- Ask students to apply the idea: For y = 2x + 1, find x when y = 11.
Watch for: Accepting an answer without checking whether it uses the material and satisfies the requested relationship or criteria.
Check the answer criteria for each task. A supported explanation may have more than one acceptable response. These activities offer evidence to discuss; completing a sheet alone does not establish mastery.
