Problem/activity:

$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and

Topic options: 
A. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.
B. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
C. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.
D. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
E. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
F. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
G. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
H. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
I. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
J. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
K. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.

problem_activity: Activity
First, students examine several examples of functions and non-functions from the perspective of “Can we figure out . . . ?” Then, they decide which of the functions can be represented by a given expression.
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?
Which of the relationships are functions?
For each function definition in the table, match it with the situation, write a statement explaining which variable depends on which, and write an example using function notation. An example is done for you.

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.)
