Lesson 2

I Rule!

Compare linear and quadratic models side by side.

Learning Focus

Compare linear and quadratic models for growing logo / figure patterns.

Big idea

  • Linear logos grow by a nearly constant number of blocks each size
  • Quadratic logos grow faster and faster (increasing first differences)

Takeaways

  • Same story context can produce different function families depending on the design rule.
  • Compare rate of change across representations.
