This final lesson in the unit culminates with the Go Public phase of the legacy cycle. In the associated activities, students use linear models to depict Hooke's law as well as Ohm's law. To conclude the lesson, students apply they have learned throughout the unit to answer the grand challenge question in a writing assignment.

Students learn about four forms of equations: direct variation, slope-intercept form, standard form and point-slope form. They graph and complete problem sets for each, converting from one form of equation to another, and learning the benefits and uses of each.

In this seminar you will learn about variation.  There are two types - direct and inverse- and you will be able to identify and calculate each type.  You will also learn how to solve real-world problems involving each type of variation, to better understand the importance of variation.StandardsCC.2.2.HS.D.8Apply inverse operations to solve equations or formulas for a given variable.CC.2.2.HS.C.3 Write functions or sequences that model relationships between two quantities.MP.1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.MP.2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.MP.3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.MP.4.

Walk the Line: A Module on Linear Functions

Prepared with pre-algebra or algebra 1 classes in mind, this module leads students through the process of graphing data and finding a line of best fit while exploring the characteristics of linear equations in algebraic and graphic formats. Then, these topics are connected to real-world experiences in which people use linear functions. During the module, students use these scientific concepts to solve the following hypothetical challenge: You are a new researcher in a lab, and your boss has just given you your first task to analyze a set of data. It being your first assignment, you ask an undergraduate student working in your lab to help you figure it out. She responds that you must determine what the data represents and then find an equation that models the data. You believe that you will be able to determine what the data represents on your own, but you ask for further help modeling the data. In response, she says she is not completely sure how to do it, but gives a list of equations that may fit the data. This module is built around the legacy cycle, a format that incorporates educational research feindings on how people best learn.
