Know and understand the rules of representing a function in a Cartesian plot including relevant vocabulary. Understand when a Cartesian plot is indicating a relationship is not functional.
  • Who is Rene Descartes?
  • What is the Cartesian Coordinate System?
  • Where did ordered pairs and Cartesian coordinates come from?
  • What are the quadrants of a Cartesian coordinate graph?
  • How do you know which variable goes on which axis of the Cartesian coordinate graph?
  • How can a graph help you see the relationship in a set of data?
  • How do you solve a function at a given value using a graph?
The lesson explains the idea of the Cartesian Coordinate System, where it came from, and what it means to functions. The explanation in this video starts from very basic concepts and builds up the idea of a Cartesian coordinate graph. A couple of really nice plots of real-world functions are included as resources also.
