Launch
Allow quiet think time to consider the situations in the first question and answer yes or no. Ensure students understand which ones are functions, and which are not. Then, give students time to complete the table.
Student Facing
For each question, answer yes or no.
It is 50 miles to Tucson. Can we figure out how many kilometers it is to Tucson?
It is 200 kilometers to Saskatoon. Can we figure out how many miles it is to Saskatoon?
A number is -3. Can we figure out its absolute value?
The absolute value of a number is 8. Can we figure out the number?
A circle has a diameter of 8 cm. Can we figure out its circumference?
A circle has a circumference of
\(10\pi\)
cm. Can we figure out its diameter?
A square has a side length of 6 units. Can we figure out its perimeter?
A rectangle has a perimeter of 30 meters. Can we figure out its width?

Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their responses in the table, and how they know. Emphasize that there are many correct examples one could choose—the thing to understand is how function notation communicates an input and output to the function (or a value of the independent variable and corresponding value of the dependent variable.)
