Lesson Summary
|
|
| Linear
Function Foldable Review |
Students
create a booklet (foldable) to organize important learning
about linear functions. |
| Understanding
Graphs
PDF
|
In
this lesson, students must match verbal descriptions
to distance/time graphs and then create stories to
go with distance/time graphs. They also match graphs
from calculators and CBRs by moving toward and away
from a wall.

| Rental
Cars and Linear Functions
PDF |
In
this lesson, students compare the pricing plans for
two car rental companies. They use the pricing plans
to create two linear functions. They look at the functions
numerically, algebraically and graphically. |
| Shifting
Funds |
Students
use a story context to create numeric, symbolic and
graphical representations of linear functions. They
compare various equations to answer questions relating
to the story context. |
Piece-wise
Linear Functions
PDF
|
In
this lesson students develop an understanding of piece-wise
linear functions by relating the graphs to familiar
situations. Situations are represented numerically,
graphically and algebraically. Students use the CBR
to create piece-wise graphs and write their own piece-wise
functions. |
| Bathtub
Piece-wise Functions |
This
lesson has students match verbal descriptions of piece-wise
functions and their graphs based on the level of water
in a bathtub. |
Y1/Y2
Comparison
PDF
|
In
the first part of the lesson, students are asked to
find the intersection between two linear or absolute
value functions, values of the functions and regions
where one function is greater than the other, given
the graphs of the functions. Questions are asked using
function notation. In the second part of the lesson,
students are given two linear equations and are asked
to find the intersection algebraically, and then to
solve in inequality using the two functions. |
Absolute
Value: Equations and Inequalities
PDF
|
This
lesson systematically develops the idea of absolute
value as distance from zero on the number line, and
uses understanding of this concept to solve single-variable
absolute value equations and inequalities. |
Matrices:
Manufacturing Toys
PDF
|
In
this lesson, students use matrices to organize information
and basic matrix operations, addition and multiplication,
to solve problems related to manufacturing toys. |
