8th Grade - Unit 4 – Growing, Growing, Growing (15 days) Things to Emphasize: Standards: Properties of Exponents 8.EE.1 – Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. Scientific Notation 8.EE.3 – Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10 to Non-linear Example estimate very large or very small quantities, and to express how many times as much one is than the other. 8.EE.4 – Perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation. 8.F.1 – Understand that a function is rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. 8.F.3 – Inteprety the equation y=mx+b as defining a linear functions, whose graphs is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. Materials/Technology: Additional Resources: – Nonlinear Functions Quick Glance: Vocabulary: Evidence of Learning: Important Notes: Inv 1 (1.1 and LfL): Base Unit Readiness Assessment The focus on this unit is not Exponential Growth for students to learn about Exponent 1 Check Ups exponential functions; Exponential form 1 Partner Quiz Inv 5 (5.1, 5.2, supplement, students need to know what Non-linear 1 Unit Test 5.4): Patterns With makes something non-linear, Power 1 Unit Project Exponents properties of exponents, and Scientific notation 1 Self-Assessment scientific notation Standard form 1 School Net Assessment - Named: 8th Grade – Growing, Growing, Growing
