Understanding Rational Functions Through Functional Reasoning

Reasoning and numeracy doesn't come to an end in highschool! Can we mathematize algebraic concepts? What is Functional Reasoning? Listen as Pam explains how Functional Reasoning builds off of Proportional Reasoning and empowers students to analyze and understand patterns of related value sets. Sounds complicated? Don't worry, Kim does her best to keep Pam on track and grounded. 
Talking Points:

• What is Proportional Reasoning: unit rates and non-unit rates
• How Functional Reasoning builds on Proportional Reasoning: slope, transformations, rational functions
• It's not about being able to visualize a static graph, it's understanding the relationship between the variables
• How to tell if someone is using Functional Reasoning
