4.0 Maps and Coordinates
PDF
|
Students
locate their houses and the school on a map obtained from
the internet. They translate this map to a coordinate grid
sheet and practice placing, naming, and comparing coordinate
points.
|
| Alg
4.0b Transforming Snoopy using Coordinates PDF
|
Students
create Snoopy on the calculator using coordinate points. Then
they manipulate the lists to transform his position. |
Alg
4.1a Stories from Graphs
PDF
|
Students
match stories to distance/time graphs and then create stories
to go with distance/time graphs. They also match graphs from
the Calculators and CBRs by moving toward and away from a
wall. |
Alg
4.1b Stories from Graphs Part III,IV
PDF
|
This
lesson is a continuation of lesson 4.1a |
Alg
4.1c Graphs Tell Stories PDF
|
This
lesson could serve as and assessment to 4.1a. Students match
graphs to stories and stories to graphs. |
Alg
4.2 Rules from Tables and Graphs
PDF
|
Students
describe rules for patterns found in tables of coordinate
pairs and their graphs. They use rules to find other coordinate
pairs. |
Alg
4.2b Proving Equation Rules
PDF
|
Students
enter equations into y = on graphing calculators, solve for
the y values of a coordinate pair, then trace to prove the
coordinate points. |
Alg
4.3 Figurate Number Patterns
PDF
|
Students
explore and describe the patterns found in figurate numbers,
use the patterns to make predictions and match equations
to the patterns.
|
Alg
4.4 Patterns and Rules
PDF
|
Students
analyze number patterns found in sequences of coordinate
pairs, create rules and differentiate between a constant
pattern of growth (linear) and an exponential pattern.
|
Alg
4.5 Choose a Prize
PDF
|
Students
choose which prize based on linear and exponential growth
patterns. They create scatter plots and differentiate between
repeated addition and repeated multiplication.
|
To
correlate the study of scatter plots and "line of
best fit" with the study of Statistics, please refer
to Statistics Module 2, lessons 2.3 to 2.6. These lessons
fit here as well as in Statistics.

Alg
4.6 Spaghetti Line of Best Fit
PDF
|
Students
relate the marble weight it takes to break an increasing amount
of spaghetti strands. They use a calculator to find a line
of best fit and create a linear model. |
Alg
4.7 Tongue Twister
PDF
|
Students
create a line of best fit and analyze the growth relating
time and tongue twister repetitions. |
Alg
4.8 Predictions from Data and Graphs
PDF
|
Students
collect data to answer real-life questions, report their predictions
and conclusions using graphs, tables, equations and writing.
Then they write their own question requiring data collection,
organization and interpretation. |
