Exploring Constant Rate of Change in Tables

What is the learning target of this lesson?

• I can find the constant rate of change in an equation.

• I can find the constant rate of change in a table.

• I can find the constant rate of change in a word problem.

• I can find the constant rate of change in a graph.

What does the triangle symbol (Δ) represent in the context of this lesson?

• Change

• Sum

• Difference

• Product

What is the first step in finding the constant rate of change in a table?

• Find the change in x-values.

• Find the change in y-values.

• Divide the change in y by the change in x.

• Multiply the change in y by the change in x.

If the y-values in a table are 3, 8, 13, and 18, what is the change in y?

• 5

• 3

• 10

• 8

What is the second step in finding the constant rate of change in a table?

• Find the change in x-values.

• Find the change in y-values.

• Divide the change in y by the change in x.

• Multiply the change in y by the change in x.

If the x-values in a table are 8, 16, 24, and 32, what is the change in x?

• 10

• 6

• 8

• 4

What do you do after finding the changes in y and x?

• Add the changes together.

• Subtract the changes.

• Multiply the changes.

• Divide the change in y by the change in x.

What is the constant rate of change if the change in y is 5 and the change in x is 8?

• 5/8

• 8

• 8/5

• 5

Why is the fraction 5/8 already in its simplest form?

• Because 5 is a factor of 8.

• Because 5 is a prime number.

• Because 8 is a prime number.

• Because 8 is a factor of 5.

What is the final step after finding the constant rate of change?

• Add the changes together.

• Simplify the fraction if possible.

• Subtract the changes.

• Multiply the changes.
