Thursday April 25th- Pledge Plans

We just covered looking at linear equations in terms of walking rates (distance and time variables).  Today we will focus on pledge plans using the variables of distance (x) and money raised(y).

Our goals for today's lesson were:

• construct graphs and tables to model problem situations.
• translate information about linear relations given a table, graph, or equation.
• explore what a y-intercept means in an equation.

Here is the graph for Investigation 1.3 Problems A-C.

Wednesday April 24th - Investigation 1.2

Today we started with the following entry slip.
Those needing more practice with the vocabulary should look to the last post.

We also looked at walking rates and the following formulas:

Speed = distance/ time

Distance = speed x time

Time = distance / speed
