Books Upon Books

Today, students worked in groups to see how linear equations can actually be used to define patterns that exist in real-life situations. Each group stacked books and measured the height of the books. Data was recorded and then graphed. Students were able to see how the data collected related to both the slope of the line and the y-intercept.

Tonight's Homework: Complete the white and pink "Books Upon Books" worksheets. These will be collected on Thursday. Also, begin preparing for Thursday's test over chapter 11.
