 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * Mathematics can be seen everywhere, from careers, art, history, and even in the modern world. This unit is designed to show students how functions can be seen (and applied) in the real world. During the unit, students will be learning concepts such as: linear, quadratic, and exponential equations, formulas, how to identify certain equations, and how rates relate to these functions. At the end of the unit, students will have a variety of projects and examples that show the basics of functions, how to evaluate them, and to consider how these equations are used outside of the classroom. Students, by the end of the unit, should be able to answer questions such as: "How do linear equations relate to what we do outside of class?" Or questions like: "How do rates in the real world relate to these equations?" Students will be challenged to see beyond the cloud of numbers and formulas to discover a concrete idea of how these functions work, inside and outside the classroom. ||
