Instructional Ideas
- Allow students to complete the task in groups
- Hold a round table discussion after everyone has completed the task
Classroom Considerations
- Pupils may need to review linear functions, angles, graphing on coordinate plane, and slope
- Providing students with colored pencils and rulers for graphing will aid in the visual effect
Pros
- Requires critical thinking skills
- Gives opportunity for discussion
- Uses visual models
Cons
- Lacks ideas for extension/differentiation
- Would benefit from some probing questions to complement the visual
