Our goal for the next week is to reinforce calculator skills that display visual representations of equations (graphs) of various linear & non-linear functions as well as incorporating table values that may lead to identifying specific characteristics of the graph: Vertex, Axis of Symmetry, X-Y Intercepts, Max, Mins, etc...
This contributes to student learning by forcing them to make connections with the graphs and their characteristics to the algebraic equations and formulas involved to solve for their matching counter-parts from graph to equation, and vice versa.
We will measure the impact of this week's work by checking how effective the correlations of the students success by: Presenting a graph and asking them to construct and equation and also by giving them an equation and asking them to construct a graph via...input/output table values and plotting points, or by using known formulas to substitute values from given equations to identify key characteristics of graph. (Aforementioned)
I hope people will post some of their successes and struggles so we can follow this journey with you!
