Monday: AIA Project Relations; Writing a Rule
Goal: Finish up AIA project #1 with developing rules (equations for lines on a graph)
- AIA Part 1 (Started last week)
- Four rules found
- Checked by teacher
- AIA Part 2 (Use rule to find which ordered pair fits which rule)
- Most groups started last week
- Put x number in the rule and calculate to see if you get the y
- AIA Part 3 (Discover other rules)
- Graph several ordered pairs
- Separate them into linear lines
- Write rules for each of these lines
