3.2

3.2 Linear Plots
This is a two-period day lesson or one block day lesson.

[|3.2 Linear Plots 3.notebook] Because the investigation will take at least 60 minutes, I removed the clicker questions at the beginning. I am going to stop the investigation for the first day at step five. If they do not get through step five, it will be assigned as homework. No other homework will be assigned for 3.2, as they will not get very far.

We are handing out the textbook investigation in revised form - see the attachment below. Pages are included in the notebook for scaffolding purposes.

[|3.2Investigationhandout.pdf] Some suggestions:


 * Step one - do one conversion for them, one with them, and have them do one alone.
 * Step two - same procedure.
 * Step three can be alone or in pairs.

We did not include an out and a summary for day one to maximize time spent on the investigation. We will do a verbal check for understanding instead. There will be an out and a summary for day two.

Day Two:

On page ten, we have some questions hidden for students to consider after sketching the graph.

The summary: You may want to have the students choose one of the first two questions and one of the last two questions.
