1) The lesson introduces functions using a scene from Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark where students plot coordinate points representing Indiana's and a rock's positions to see if they represent functions. 2) Students learn about domain, range, and identifying functions by analyzing the coordinate points. They graph the points and draw lines of best fit. 3) The lesson checks for understanding of functions and has students practice graphing and identifying functions through an in-class activity and worksheet followed by homework questions.

1. Lesson: Functions with Indiana JonesSubject: Algebra IIGrade: 10-11Teacher: Sam EaryGeneral Education Standard:A2.1.1 Determine whether a relationship (given in contextual, symbolic, tabular, or graphical form) is a function, and identify its domain and range. A2.1.2 Read, interpret, and use function notation, and evaluate a function at a value in its domain.A2.1.3 Represent functions in symbols, graphs, tables, diagrams, or words, and translate among representations.

2. Objective:Students will be able to identify and evaluate functions in symbols, graphs, tables, diagrams, and words.Anticipatory Set:

3. Students will view a short clip from the beginning of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of The Lost Ark.

4. Basic knowledge should include a basic knowledge of algebra and the Cartesian coordinate system.
