Wednesday, March 11
  • WWK: Scatterplot and Line of Best Fit
  • Learning targets for Hearbeats
  • PT: Styrofoam Cups (3-Act task) - see photos below
  • Assignment: prior discussion - 1) What two variables does this task compare? 2) Is this a linear relationship? followed by homework assignment: Find a function rule that describes this relationship.
Tuesday, March 10
  • Students work in groups to complete Heartbeats PT
  • NOTE: I extended the performance task with Part 5 and Part 6 shown in the photo below.  I still feel that this is an introductory lesson on line of best fit, but wanted students to think more deeply about the connections to functons and function rules.
  • Student work for Part 5 and Part 6 is shown.
