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
- Turn in all 3 parts of project
- AIA Relations Quiz (Covers Lessons 7-1, 7-2, & 7-3)
- Lesson 7-4 Worksheet/Activity
Tuesday: AIA Project Slopes (Enemy Camps)
Goal: Students are intelligence officers and have intercepted a coded directional path. They will follow a path created by slopes to discover enemy camp locations. They will then write the names of the roads (Slope-intercept form) going into and out of camps.
- 5-Minute Check over Lesson 7-4
- AIA Slope directives
- Graph Paper
- Straight edge
- Create lines given by following the slopes in the data.
- Find Enemy Camps
- Write equations in Slope-Intercept Form for the roads going in and out of camps.
- Create false directions to give to the enemy.
