2.  1) Algebra I: SPI 3102.1.6Determine and interpret slope in multiple contexts including rate of change in real-world problems.  2) English I: CFU 3001.3.1 Write in a variety of modes (e.g., summary, explanation, description, persuasion, informational, literary analysis, creative expression).  3) Students will complete an overall project implementing gained knowledge on slope and rate of change.

3.  Dear Parents,  Your child is starting a new section in Chapter 5 called Rate of Change/Slope. The entire class is responsible for completing a group project that will require them to utilize their time outside of school to complete. Please complete the following survey with your child so that I can help your child in any way to get this project completed on time.  C:\Users\SHACKELFORD_S\Documents\Walden \Survey.docx C:\Users\SHACKELFORD_S\Documents\Walden \Survey.docx

4.  RATE OF CHANGE/ SLOPE  An electronics company has several factories that make stereos.  Each factory produces the stereos at a steady pace throughout the day.  1. Over a period of 8 hours, factory A produces 400 stereos.  Complete the table. Time (h)12345678 Stereos produced 400

5.  2. Over a period of 6 hours, factory B produces 360 stereos.  Complete the table.  3. How many stereos does each factory produce per hour? 4. Explain how you found the number of stereos that each  factory produces per hour.   5. Discuss how a graph for factory C, which produces 75 stereos  per hour, would compare to the other factories’ graphs.   6. What is the slope of the line y=3x+1?   7. Calculate the slope of the line that passes through points (1,2) and (3,4)? Explain how you found your answer Time (h) 12345678 Stereos Produced 360

6.  Quiz: Are You Ready to Go On quiz that is computer generated. It is just a multiple choice test that will only test skills and practice.  Unit Checklist  Rubric

7.  G: The goal is for my students to complete an overall task that allows them to utilize their gained knowledge and apply it to real life scenarios.  R: Your job is to help raise money for a charity of your choice. To this you must gather data from the community and choose the best recycling company based off the rate of change of the data you gather about the company’s unit rate.  A: Your clients are the charity of your choice.  S: The challenge involves dealing with the research and gathering the necessary data to calculate rate of change.  P: You will create a graph and research paper explaining your findings in order to exemplify learning has occurred.  S: Your work will be judged by a rubric.

10.  Students will have a unit exam which will have approximately 28 questions with two to three ACT practice questions that also count as part of the overall grade.  Sample questions:  True- True/False:  Directions:  Circle True or False.  Rate of change allows you to see the relationship between two quantities that are changing. If one quantity depends on the other, then  Rate of change =_change of dependent varaible. change of independent variable.  Essay:  Directions:  The formula for calculating the rate of change is as follows:  Rate of change =_change of dependent varaible. change of independent variable. Explain in words what this formula means.
