Linear Functions Ch 5 - Slope on a Graph Introduction
Posted: June 19th, 2008 by mabrye
This flipchart introduces the various classifications of slope (positive, negative, undefined, zero) and its definition. Then, it provides students a chance to practice calculating slope using lines identified in photographs.
OBJECTIVE: Given pictures on coordinate planes, students will demonstrate understanding of slope as a rate by identifying lines and then writing ratios to describe their change.
Functions #7 Ch 4 - Patterns - Scatter Plots (Age Estimation)
Posted: June 19th, 2008 by mabrye
This flipchart introduces and explores the patterns seen in scatter plots. After completing an age estimation activity, students will discuss the results displayed by the scatter plot.
OBJECTIVE: Given 50 minutes and data, students will be able to understand how to interpret and graph situations by plotting the data points and then identifying the correlation.
Functions #6 Ch 4 - Patterns - Tables to Rules
Posted: June 19th, 2008 by mabrye
This flipchart summarizes the patterns explorations already completed and then requires the students to apply this information when writing function rules/equations from tables.
OBJECTIVE: Given 50 minutes and various patterns, students will demostrate understanding of writing a function rule from a pattern in a table by calculating the growth rate and identifying the starting value.
Functions #5 Ch 4 - Patterns Continued - Independent & Dependent
Posted: June 19th, 2008 by mabrye
This flipchart continues to study functions and their attributes through the use of patterns and tiles. Specifically, it focuses on independent and dependent quantities.
