Monday is the day! I meet my freshmen students on Monday … and I am excited.
After our first day, we will jump into an introductory unit on functions! While it can be a challenging concept, it does lend itself well to math lab activities. I plan to use these two activities during the first week!
In this second activity I used Mr. D’s poster project as a guide: http://www.teachforever.com/2007/10/project-idea-independent-vs-dependent.html.
Excitement is high … glad there is a buffer day tomorrow … a day for rest, relaxation, reflection!

The independent/dependent variable activity is pure genius. I’m a sucker for cut & match activities, so perhaps I’m biased. Maybe after students complete it, they could devise their own creative versions?
Welcome to the blogotwittersphereoverse!
Absolutely – they could create their own … and if you had time in class they could try to stump one another.
Bookmarked! Thanks for creating and linking to other sources on this activity.
