In Your Folder
Generate and Analyze Patterns (Level C, Operations and Algebraic Thinking 4.OA.5)
Look relationships between quantities (Level C Ratios 6.RP.1 & 2)
Show the relationship in a rule, equation, table and graph (Level C, Equations, Level D Number System 6.EE.9, 6.RP.3a)
Define and evaluate linear functions (Level D Functions 8.F.1, 8.F.4, Level E Functions F.BF.1)
My Focus This Term
