Instructional Ideas
  • Use the hand-on activity when graphing linear functions
  • Pair with science and math teachers to teach the concept together
Classroom Considerations
  • Requires materials to create the circuit
  • Learners should have knowledge of linear functions
Pros
  • Used with a variety of levels based upon focus
  • Provides an application of linear functions
Cons
  • The materials needed can be expensive
  • Use of the breadboard may be difficult for some
