standard_description: Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract. (Students need not use formal terms for these properties.) Examples: If 8 + 3 = 11 is known, then 3 + 8 = 11 is also known. (Commutative property of addition.) To add 2 + 6 + 4, the second two numbers can be added to make a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12. (Associative property of addition.)
problem_activity: At a local bank, when you open an account, you provide certain information that is stored in the bank's records. The table below shows the names and mailing zip codes of some of the bank's customers.
| **           Customer Name          ** | **           Zip Code          ** |

a.   Suppose
F
is the rule that takes a customer's name and provides their mailing zip code. According to the information in this table, is
F
a function? Explain your reasoning.
b.   Suppose
G
is the rule that takes a customer's mailing zip code and provides their name. According to the information in this table, is
G
a function? Explain your reasoning.
c.   If the bank is looking for a way to identify specific customers, why would using their zip code
not
be a good way to do this? What other input might the bank use instead?
