M-Step Week #2, Starting the Last Unit: Systems of Equations

5/12/2015

 
We started unit 7 the day after we finished M-Step testing, Friday, May 8. Bummer, we're one week behind schedule!

The task kicking off the Systems of Equations Unit is a 3-Act task called "Playing Catch-Up."  A link to the task is here  http://threeacts.mrmeyer.com/playingcatchup/

Notes for this task:
  • Not all students will have prior knowledge about the 40 yd dash in football.
  • Good task for one class period.
  • You will be asked to watch the video many, many, many times


Overheard during this task:
  • From one team member to another "But, we have to have proof."
  • "Would the half speed be divided by two, or times two?"
  • "How can we use a graphing calculator to put in an equation and get a table of values?"
