Topic: Graphing
Bridge: Tell the students that we are going to work on graphing today. Assign them into groups and hand out worksheets for them to work on!
Teaching Objective: To allow students the chance to work in groups to think and hypothesize over graphing. To promote a bit of worksheet guided independent learning. For students to work on their communication among peers to reach a conclusion for the answer. And to facilitate discussion among the small groups.
Learning Objective: Students will be able to create lines of best fit for particular graphs and realize that graphs are not always linear. As well, they will learn that there is a practical reason for graphs!
Pre-test: Ask if anyone knows how to graph data points. Ask if they have seen a graph and know what should go on the x and y axis.
Participatory Activity: Hand out the different worksheets to different groups to have them explore graphing techniques.
Post-test: Have students come up to the board, draw their graph and describe what conclusions they derived from it. The students will explain the answers they obtained from the experience.
Summary: Conclude with we can graph many different shapes and they all explain data in a very visual friendly way. As well, it is important skill for us to be able to graph plots because we can predict the general trend and see relationships. Graphs can be very applicable to daily life. In the upcoming unit, we will focus in more detail on the linear graph.
