CLASSIFYING TABLES AND EQUATIONS

STEPS

• Check for inverse (multiply)
• If not inverse check if direct (division)
• If neither inverse nor direct see if it is linear (pattern)
• If none of the above it is nonlinear (no pattern)

Steps for equations

• Look for exponents
• Look for the relationship. Are they straight across from each other, diagonal, or touching
• If straight across, look for addition or subtraction

Variable key

• Linear-variables staright across with adding or subtraction
• Nonlinear-exponent on variable
• Direct-no addition or subtraction/ straight across
• Inverse-diagonal or touching
