February 1 – Direct Variation Practice
Last week’s paired activity went well on discovering the characteristics of Direct Variations. We took notes on a power point. However, when we tried on Friday to do more tables and find constants, we had difficulty. After grading their paired work as well, we need to do more reinforced work.
Today we will be working on both graphing correctly and solving equations by using coordinate peg boards that allow us to physically move and plot the points. We will also be finding the constant by making fractions of y over x . or y/x or y divided by x. This seems to be the most difficult concept.
Hope to have a quiz on Thursday of Direct Variations. Attached are some notes. The students will also be given hard copies.
