Small Group Work

Small Group Work

1. Box of Clay Activity - Students will compare two cubic functions based on the context of the volumes of a box of clay.
2. Candy Experiment - Students will create their own data to construct a graph and equation of negative and fractional slope.
3. Who Shares My Function? - Quadratics - Students will make groups by finding other students who have the same quadratic or linear function in different representations.
4. Compare and Contrast - Students will identify the y-intercept and slope using equations and then use that data to create corresponding tables and graphs.
5. Guess My Rule - Linear - Students will try to determine the equation to match their partner's created graph and work together to correct their own mistakes.
6. Jason's Tree House - Students will extract data from a story and use tables and graphs to answers questions about proposed scenarios.
7. Who Shares My Function? - Linear with graphs and stories - Students will make groups by finding other students who have the same quadratic or linear function in different representations.
8. Can We Predict Differences? - Students will predict, produce, and compare linear and non-linear function graphs used to represent the number of punches on a balloon.
9. Contrasting Equations - Students write equations for three graphs and examine their slopes by comparing and contrasting the graphs. Students also look at the same functions graphed on differently scaled coordinate planes.
