Project Connection NOT ASSIGNED

This shows a photo of three girls playing a board game.

You have learned how to represent a linear relation as a graph, a table of values, a set of ordered pairs, an equation, and in words. You have also learned how to match equivalent relations.

Go to the Unit 3 Project and create a game for two or more people based on the outcomes of this lesson. This game could be based on an existing game, or it could be entirely original. You may want to construct a game from traditional materials such as construction paper or cardstock, or you may also want to consider creating a computer-based game.

Going Beyond

The path of a ball used in volleyball follows the path of an arc called a parabola. Just as the equation of a non-vertical line can be written in the form y = mx + b, so is there a form for parabolas. In subsequent math courses, you may work with parabolas and other non-linear relations. These include

cubic functions
radical functions
exponential functions
logarithmic functions
