I began the class today by taking up the answers to the package that I gave the students Tue Dec 9 titled “EQAO Practice Questions – Graphing Relations – Part 3”. I went over the questions on the digital projector. After going over the answers, I then showed the students some “exemplars” for EQAO open response questions. Exemplars are examples of how students answers an open response questions and what a level 1, 2, 3 or 4 would look like. After showing the students these exemplars, I then told the students that we would be doing 2 mini-lessons today. The first lesson was related to the homework I had assigned in class yesterday and was titled “6.1 Recognizing Linear Relations”. I introduced the term “first differences” and then gave the students some examples before re-assigning the homework I told the students to do in class yesterday (Pages 194 to 196 #1 to 7). Once I finished this lesson, I then moved on to the next lesson which was titled “6.2 Average Speed as a Rate of Change”. I only briefly had a chance to go over the concept of rate of change and how it was related to the rise/run of 2 points on a graph. I did 2 examples before assigning the homework (Pages 199 & 200 #1 to 5). I will continue with a lesson on section 6.2 at the start of class tomorrow so I can give the students some more examples to help further their understanding.
Below you will find a copies of the handouts/worksheets that were distributed/assigned in today’s class.
