Time-distance graphs with applications
Posted on by FaSMEd
Lesson Plan: A lesson using applications to collect and display student responses (Socrative, Classflow, Plickers or Showme).
| Subject: | Mathematics. |
|---|---|
| Age of students: | 11-14 years. |
| Hardware: | Tablets (iPad 1 per class or student). |
| Software: | Socrative or Classflow + Apple airserver OR Showme and Reflector OR Plickers. |
| Functionalities of Technology: | Sending and displaying, Processing and analysing. |
| Time needed: | 2-3 hours. |
| FaSMEd partner: | University of Newcastle Upon Tyne. |
Summary:
This lesson is intended to help you assess how well students are able to interpret distance–time graphs and, in particular, to help you identify students who:
- Interpret distance–time graphs as if they are pictures of situations rather than abstract representations of them.
- Have difficulty relating speeds to slopes of these graphs.
