Description

Secondary mathematicians are developing functional fluency in their study of mathematics. One of the primary representations of functions is the graph. Here is a set of ten graphs of points through which students can try to create functions that will “catch” the most points with the graph. Some of the graphs have points that appear to be quadratic in nature, some linear, and some exponential. The type of graph created can depend upon the student, their level, the mathematical topic being studied, or the teacher’s desire.

These make nice journal prompts as well as activities for learning stations. Encourage students to use their graphing technology, TI-Nspire, TI-84 family, etc, as a tool of investigation. Students need to record each of their trials and discuss their thinking as they made refinements to their original function.

This resource is useful for students with Dyslexia and language-based learning deficiencies. We’d like to hear about your experience with our resources. Just give it a star rating then tell us what you think, simple as that!

The Top 5 Reasons for Using Manipulatives in the Classroom

Have you ever asked or said or heard a fellow educator ask or say… “Exactly what constitutes a manipulative?” “I have some of these manipulatives in my closet, but do not have a clue how to use them!” “How do I find the time to use manipluatives in the classroom when I have so much […]

Happy National National Chocolate Day: October 28thChocolate Day!

National Chocolate Day: October 28th My grandmother always said, “God was in a good mood the day He created chocolate!” I grew up thinking that chocolate was a basic food group! And, I admit, chocolate is one of my weaknesses. What does National Chocolate Day have to do with mathematics!   Well – where’s the math? […]

Functional Fluency

I just returned from NCTM Boston. What a great week! I got to catch up with a lot of old friends and made several new ones as well. My co-author, Leslie Texas, and I did a session on one of our strategies from our book series What’s My Move: A Kinesthetic Multisensory Approach to Graphing […]

NCTM, San Francisco

My colleagues and I really enjoyed your presentation at NCTM.  We have already convinced our principal to pre-order us copies of your new book, but we would also like 4 class sets of the pyramids. 

Many presentations talked about problem solving and the benefits of giving students higher level thinking problems, but yours was the only one that really told us how to teach it and scaffold it for students, rather than just modeling what problem-solving looks likes.  Thanks.
