• After reviewing your classmates post, would you alter your definition? Why or why not? Would you provide different examples?

After reading my classmates posts, I relly liked how they defined functions and equations, but I do not think I would alter my definition much. For me, this is the best way I can describe the concepts to the students, but if they are still unsure after my explanation, I now have many more ways of explaining the concepts to them.

• How can you evaluate whether or not your students grasped the difference between the two?

There are many ways I can evaluate if students understand the difference between functions and equations. I could have them explain it verbally to me, and also have them write the definitions in their own words. Of course I would use daily class work and quizzes to check understanding as well.
