Standards/Cumulative Progress Indicators (Taught and Assessed):
8.EE.B.5 Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways. For example, compare a distance-time graph to a distance-time equation to determine which of two moving objects has greater speed.
8.F.B.4. Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.
8.F.A.2. Compare properties (e.g. rate of change, intercepts, domain and range) of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.
8.EE.B.6 Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation y = mx for a line through the origin and the equation y = mx + b for a line intercepting the vertical axis at b.
8.EE.C.7 Solve linear equations in one variable.
a. Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, into an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are different numbers).
b. Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions include expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.

One quantity that can be described very usefully by quadratic functions is motion. For example, a table, a graph, or an equation can give the motion of a falling object, the movement of a planet around the Sun, or the swinging of a pendulum. In this problem, you will study the motion of a soccer ball.
Part A. This table shows some points on the path of a soccer ball that was kicked from the ground. The x-values represent the horizontal distance in feet from the starting point, and the y-values give the vertical distance. Plot the points on the graph below and sketch the curve.
CAR © 2009
Part B. Based on the graph, at what horizontal distance from the starting point do you think the soccer ball will reach its maximum height? Explain your answer.
Estimate the maximum height from the graph.
Part C. The path of the soccer ball forms a parabola. The equation for the function is
Test the values you found in part B for the maximum point of the graph. See whether those values for the x- and y-coordinates satisfy the equation. If not, adjust your values until they satisfy the equation.
Part D. Test four other points from the table in the equation. Be sure to show your work.
CAR © 2009
Part E. Another player kicks the soccer ball. It goes higher than the first ball but not as far. It reaches a maximum height of 36 feet and goes a horizontal distance of 48 feet. At a point when the ball has traveled a horizontal distance of 12 feet from the kicker, its height is 27 feet. When the ball has traveled a horizontal distance of 44 feet from the kicker, its height is 11 feet.
From this description, create a table of values for the
points you know, including the starting point. In addition to the points given in the description, think about other points you can figure out from the information given and the shape of the graph. Explain how you know these points.
Part F. Plot these points and sketch the curve on the same graph in part A.
Part G. Study the pattern in the equation given in part

C for the path of the first soccer ball,
Which number gives the maximum height of the ball? Which number tells how far the graph is shifted to the right? (Remember
that in the equation the maximum or minimum is on the y-axis.)
Fill in those values to create the equation for the path of the second soccer ball. Then, choose one of the given points and solve to find the value of a. Write the full equation.
Part H. After writing your equation, test three values from your table in part E. Be sure to show your work.

8.EE.C.8 Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.
a. Understand that solutions to a system of two linear equations in two variables correspond to points of intersection of their graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations simultaneously.
b. Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3x + 2y = 5 and 3x + 2y = 6 have no solution because 3x + 2y cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6.
c. Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables. For example, given coordinates for two pairs of points, determine whether the line through the first pair of points intersects the line through the second pair.
8.F.A.1 Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.
8.F.A.3 Interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function A = s2 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.

8.F.B.5 Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally. Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation y = mx for a line through the origin and the equation y = mx + b for a line intercepting the vertical axis at b.
8.EE.A.1 Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 32 × 3-5 = 3-3 = 1/33 = 1/27.Solve linear equations in one variable.
8.EE. A.3 Use numbers expressed in the form of a single digit times an integer power of 10 to estimate very large or very small quantities, and to express how many times as much one is than the other. For example, estimate the population of the United States as 3 times 108 and the population of the world as 7 times 109, and determine that the world population is more than 20 times larger.
8.EE.A.4 Perform operations with numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where both decimal and scientific notation are used. Use scientific notation and choose units of appropriate size for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g., use millimeters per year for seafloor spreading).

New Jersey Student Learning Standards
Standards/Cumulative Progress Indicators (Taught and Assessed):
8.SP.A.1 Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association.
8.SP.A.2 Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.
8.SP.A.3
CAR © 2009
Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope and intercept. For example, in a linear model for a biology experiment, interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of sunlight each day is associated with an additional 1.5 cm in mature plant height.
8.SP.A.4 Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct 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?
8.NS.A.1 Know that numbers that are not rational are called irrational. Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually, and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number.
8.NS.A.2 Use 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 (e.g., π2). For example, by truncating the decimal expansion of √2, show that √2 is between 1 and 2, then between 1.4 and 1.5, and explain how to continue on to get better approximations.
8.G.C.9 Know the formulas for the volumes of cones, cylinders, and spheres and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

Construction of a new skyscraper in a large city began in 2006 and was completed in May 2013. The building was designed to have a windowless base that is 200 feet squared and 185 feet high. Above the base, there are the office floors, starting with the 20th floor. At the top of the building, there is a large spire, which was the last part of the skyscraper that was constructed.Part A. The table below shows the progress in the construction of the skyscraper, from the pouring of concrete into the foundation 80 feet below the surface to the placement of the spire. The final height of the building was 1,776 feet.
