Core Math Goal: How can you determine if a relationship is linear or not?? How can you see this linear relationship in a model, table, graph, and equation?
TMWYK: Coordinate Graphs
*Neg and pos
*plot points to represent data
*x-axis shows a value
*x axis is independent variable, y axis the dependent variable
*Look for patterns

Patterns
TMWYK: How can you make rules from patterns
-observations
-predict
-see what it goes up by
-more/different rules
-Must work for everything
-Identify what each part of the equation does
-compare all scenarios
Pattern Rules-
1. (n*3)+1 n=figure #
2. Dark is negative, Grey is positive
(n*3)-1 n=figure #
(the minus 1 is from the middle square)
3. Dark is negative, grey is positive
(n*2)-((n*2)+4) n=figure
**Class discovered that every figure is equal to -4.
Different Equation: 0-4 (The n*2-n*2 cancels out or zeroates)
4.0=-1 0=odd
E=0 E=even

R-41 Proportions
R-41 Core Math Goal: How can you use proportions to find percentages of a value when you know a certain percentage of the same value??
TMWYK: About creating a proportion
-set it up as a fraction (2 equivalent fractions)
-use scale factor
-two=fractions w/change between them (discount or raise in price)
100 = 200
123 X

TMWYK: About using proportions to solve problems
$22,500
Markup 10%
Original price=??
Strategy:
Delany's Idea
10+100=110 (full price + mark up price)
10 2050
110 = 22550 (price of the car)
***Flynn's Idea: Maybe they need to be equivalent fractions. We can check it with that. Scale factor is 205. This means that they are equal fractions and are in proportion.
Proportional Strategy
*We should divide by 11. 10 is the mark up price
110
10 = 11
10% of 110=11
New Problem:
22,770=resale price
Original proce=19,800
What is the markup?

What is the relationship between two similar figures? (Reptiles)
Scale Factor- Number I multiply side length or perimeter by to get similar figure
Side Length- in proportion smaller side length x scale factor= bigger side length
Perimeter- small perimeter x scale factor= bigger perimeter
Area- bigger shape side lengths are a multiple of smaller shape side lengths
If my original area is 3 and my scale factor is 2 (twice as big), how can I figure out what that new area is?

If my original area is 6 and I have a scale factor of 3(3 times as big), how can I figure
Rule: original area x (scale factor)^2 = bigger area
(scale factor)^2= scale factor x scale factor
