System of Equations Ch 6 - Intro with McGrady's Magic
Posted: June 19th, 2008 by mabrye
This flilpchart introduces the concept of a system of equations using a basketball situation. Students find the solution of the system from many different representations.
OBJECTIVE: Given 50 minutes and a basketball situation, students will understand the concept behind systems of equations by modeling the system of points and shots and its solution in multiple ways.
Solving Ch 2 - 1 Step Equations
Posted: June 19th, 2008 by mabrye
This flipchart explores the idea of solving 1 step equations. It uses the idea of keeping the equation balanced and "undoing" operations to solve.
OBJECTIVE: Given 50 minutes and various single-variable equations, students will be able to solve an equation for the value of a given variable by undoing the given operations to isolate variable.
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.
Linear Inequalities Ch 6 - Yao's 18 Point Goal
Posted: June 19th, 2008 by mabrye
This flipchart uses a basketball situation to model the concept of linear inequalities. It requires students to graph and write linear inequalities to represent 3 different situations.
