For example, 3π₯π₯ + 2π¦π¦ = 5 and 3π₯π₯ + 2π¦π¦ = 6 have no solution because 3π₯π₯ + 2π¦π¦ cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6; π₯π₯ β π¦π¦ = 11 and 2π₯π₯ + π¦π¦ = 19.
Generate resourceDescribe a function as a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output and the graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output. Function notation is not required in grade 8.

Generate resourceInterpret the equation π¦π¦ = ππππ + ππ as defining a function that assigns to each input value x the output value ππππ + ππ; this is a linear function whose graph is a straight line. Give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function π΄π΄ = π π 2 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 on a straight line.

Generate resourceUse rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them approximately on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of expressions. For example, estimate the value of β2. By truncating the decimal expansion of β2, show that β2 is between 1 and 2, then between 1.4 and 1.5, and explain how to continue - on to get better approximations.

Generate resourceConstruct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association between the two variables. For example, collect data from students in your class on whether or not they have a curfew on school nights and whether or not they have assigned chores at home. Is there evidence that those who have a curfew also tend to have chores?
