Lesson Plan : Graphing Relationships
Teacher Name: | Mrs. Leisinger |
Grade: | Grade 6 |
Subject: | Math |
Topic: | Recording Data on a Coordinate Graph |
Content: | A graph is a drawing designed to illustrate a relationship between two or more sets of values of variables. Coordinate graphs use ordered pairs of numbers to designate a single point on a grid that represents two variables at one. EXAMPLE: the two variables for a shoe graph would be shoe size and the number of people who wear each size. (4,7) would mean four people wear size seven. |
Goals: | The activities in this chapter teach students the basic techniques of assembling coordinate graphs. Need to edit. |
Objectives: | These graphs are best used to show functional relationships, in which a first number is related to a second one so that for every value of the first number there is a unique corresponding value to the second. Need to edit. |
Materials: | Paper, pencil, formulated chart to record data |
Introduction: | What Goes into running a bike tour business. Read story of all the planning that goes into running a Bicycle Touring Business. That you will doing a simulation of one day of the tour. |
Development: | One feature of the business is to average the number of hours of biking for one day for a typical college student. Simulate an endurance activity. Have tree student demonstrate how to record the activity. |
Practice: | Record data accurately. Produce a written description their role in today's lesson. Each student should have a product at the end of the lesson: a table of data recording the number of jumping jacks totals for persons in their group. |
Accommodations: | Groups of 3 students. May have to move furniture. |
Checking For Understanding: | Have each student in the group check their data table. |
Closure: | Talk about predicting what other groups data will look like . What might be the range? What do we expect will happen when people do strenueous exercise over time. |
Evaluation: | Use Sarah's Exit Pass. |
