Outcomes

9.C3.1

Compare the shapes of graphs of linear and non-linear relations to describe their rates of change, to make connections to growing and shrinking patterns, and to make predictions.

9.C3.2

Represent linear relations using concrete materials, tables of values, graphs, and equations, and make connections between the various representations to demonstrate an understanding of rates of change and initial values.
