Functions vs Relations
-Standard 8.F.1: Students focus on understanding that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.
-Standard 8.F.3: Interpret the equation y=mx+b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function A=s2 giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4), and (3,9), which are not a straight line.
-Standard HSF.IF.A.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).

1) Justify how this project/activity/assignment meets the standard, using evidence from the standard itself to demonstrate your mastery and/or understanding.
This assignment requires me to know what a function is. The standard wants me to know what a function is. So, they go hand in hand. This standard also requires me to know what a domain and range is, and the assignment definitely had domain and range stuff on it.
2) Elaborate on at least 1 skill and/or strength you feel you gained from completing this project. (Coloring and/or drawing are not skills to write about - elaborate on life skills you can take out of this project).
I got to learn about functions. I now know what a domain and range is. I now know what makes a function.
3) Upon reflecting on your work/score, what is ONE area of work you could have done better on? (Coloring and/or drawing are not skills to write about - research skills, time management, etc...)
I could have gotten the placements right the first time. I made a lot of mistakes, and I don't think I understood functions the first time. I think I could have asked for help.
4) How will you presently apply the content and skills you learned from this assignment in the real world (outside of the classroom, particularly in today's society). Make connections between the content and your life.
Functions will be important later on for finding daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly costs of things. It'll be important in the real world when you want to know how to save money or increases in money, and etc.
