They use this information to practice writing equations of circles that extend a given pattern or match a given set of conditions. It is not expected that students will complete all of the challenges. The activity then leads students through the process of writing a system of linear equations to represent the scenario, followed by an introduction of solving systems by elimination. Students will generate a need to use less informal language and more formal language when describing linear relations. Equations are written in slope-intercept and standard form. Teachers will see which time formats are easier and harder for students. This activity tries to build on student intuition to develop an understanding of the volume of rectangular prisms. (added 10/9/16), by Andrew Stadel. It could be a multiple choice selection, or math input latex, or a graph.number ('a'). Students make predictions about the number of points per game the top pick in the 2016 WNBA Draft will score in her rookie season, based on the number of points per game she scored in her NCAA senior season. After most students have played 2-3 games, consider taking a short break to discuss strategy, highlight effective questions, and encourage students in their use of increasingly precise academic language. We recommend students work on this task using computers AND paper. Students measure circles, plot (diameter, circumference), and discuss how they know this is a proportional relationship.

In particular, students focus on linear vs nonlinear association, strong vs weak association, and increasing vs decreasing plots. Here you'll have two options: 1) Assign to Your Classes or 2) Single Session Code. Proportional / Linear, Students gather and analyze walking data (distance in feet compared to time in seconds), write equations to represent this distance-time relationship, and compare their own walking rates to others through multiple representations (numerical, graphical, and algebraic). Introduction. Key Understandings: Rates of change express themselves as slope of a line, and as a coefficient of x in a linear equation. We recommend you don't pre-teach that language but let students use their informal language first and then connect it to the formal language in a brief period of direct instruction. While students can solve the systems of equations that arise here by graphing, the activity lends itself quite well to solving systems by substitution. In the early rounds of the game, students may notice graph features like strong and weak associations, even though they may not use those words to describe them. But its a graph that we have seen multiple requests for over time. Key Understandings: A solution to a linear equation can be interpreted in two ways: (a) graphically, as a point on the line, and (b) algebraically, as an ordered pair that yields a true statement when substituted into the equation. Application. Writing the Equation of a Line Students begin by exploring rate of change in a graphical setting by plotting lines through various points. Sugar Sugar Students will use unit rates in various ways to compare the sugary-ness of five cereals. Students will first write about that transformation verbally, developing their intuition about the transformation, before then writing it algebraically.

We have used "smallest" in the title of this activity even though it is not a well-defined mathematical term. This activity is appropriate for students who have studied linear functions but may not have an experience with exponential growth. Likewise, a solution to a system of linear equations can be interpreted in two ways: (a) graphically, as a point that lies on each line in the system, and (b) algebraically, as an ordered pair that satisfies each equation in the system.
