Exploring Algebraic Relationships through Tables

This video tutorial introduces algebraic relationships using variables, independent and dependent quantities. It explains how to use tables to represent these relationships and solve problems by identifying input and output values. The tutorial also covers working backwards to find independent quantities and using visual models to understand input-output relationships. Finally, it demonstrates how to graph data from tables, emphasizing the importance of labeling axes and plotting ordered pairs.
