Algebra 1 Performance Task: Real-World Functions
By Morgan M.
This 90-minute independent work packet for 9th-grade Algebra 1 students presents real-world scenarios involving linear, quadratic, and exponential functions. Students will analyze graphs and tables to solve problems, reinforcing their understanding of function types and applications.
Customize for your classroom
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use as substitute plans or for independent practice during a 90-minute block.
- Discussion question: How can you determine if a real-world situation is best modeled by a linear, quadratic, or exponential function based on its graph or table?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Provide a graphic organizer to help students identify key features of each function type (slope, vertex, growth factor).
- Extension for advanced students: Ask students to create their own real-world scenario and model it using one of the function types, justifying their choice.
- Estimated time: 90 minutes.
