This week in 8th grade math we are continuing our unit on functions and their graphs. We will start the week off with continued work on direct variations. We ended last week by graphing direct variations, with the world record hand clapper, and working with the equation y=kx. Next, we will move on to learning about indirect variations, which connect to the Mr. Potato Head problem we did last week. We will then end our second unit learning about arithmetic sequences, which are growing number sequences that grow using constant addition or subtraction.
Upcoming assignments:
Quiz 5.2 on Thursday Oct. 15th covering sections 5.3-5.6
Test next Wednesday Oct. 21st
Alternative assessment also due Oct. 21st
Question to ask at home:
What shape does a indirect variation make? (After tomorrow's class.)
Students creating proportions to work on the world record for hand clapping
Students graphing the data from hand clapping to find a direct variation
