LESSON OVERVIEW

Contracts provide a way for students to better understand and discuss functions. Through this lesson, students will look at known functions and come up with the contracts that describe those functions.

LESSON OBJECTIVES

Students will:

• Describe a function in terms of its name, domain, and range.
• Create contracts for arithmetic and image-producing functions.

ANCHOR STANDARD

Common Core Math Standards

• F.IF.1: Understand that a function from one set (called the domain) to another set (called the range) assigns to each element of the domain exactly one element of the range. If f is a function and x is an element of its domain, then f(x) denotes the output of f corresponding to the input x. The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x).

Defining Variables and Substitution

LESSON OVERVIEW

In this activity, students will learn to define variables that can be used to reference values and expressions. Once defined, their variables can be used repeatedly throughout a program as substitutes for the original values or expressions.

LESSON OBJECTIVES

Students will:

• Define variables by giving them a name and assigning them a value or expression.
• Use variables within Evaluation Blocks.
• Describe a situation where using variables as substitutions for values or expressions is more efficient.

What's in a Contract

Vocabulary 

• Define - associate a descriptive name with a value
• Variable - a container for a value or expression that can be used repeatedly throughout a program

Common Core Math Standards

• 6.EE.4: Identify when two expressions are equivalent (i.e., when the two expressions name the same number regardless of which value is substituted into them). For example, the expressions y + y + y and 3y are equivalent because they name the same number regardless of which number y stands for.
