Description:

The software used with these lessons will typically be used in one of three modes: (1) Classroom Discussion-Demo using an overhead display and software configured either by parameter-setting html documents or manually for classroom demonstration and discussion; (2) Students working activities based on the printed activity sheets, where the activity sheets specify the appropriate software activity to use (which will supply its appropriate configurations); and (3) Students engaged in online Challenge Activities based on software-generated challenges-usually, but not necessarily within a curriculum sequence.

Unit 1: Number Sentences And Equations For Variable Rate Situations: Section 1.1: Introducing Step-Wise Varying Velocities and Rates; Section 1.2: Introducing Number Sentences Describing Step-Wise Varying Velocity and Rate Situations; Section 1.3: Making and Solving Equations for Step-Wise Varying Velocity and Rate Situations
Unit 2: The Idea Of Average-For Both Motion And Non-Motion Situations: Section 2.1: The Idea of Average Velocity and Average Rate of Change; Section 2.2: Building a Powerful Idea of Average Rate of Change; Section 2.3: Making and Solving Equations for Rates and Averages-Including Mixture Problems
Unit 3: Using Marks And Step-Time To Understand How Velocity Relates Changes In Position To Changes In Time: Section 3.1: Relating Marks, Step-Time, and Velocity; Section 3.2: Extending Understanding of Motion and Velocity to Non-Motion Based Rates; Section 3.3: Relating Changes in Step-Time, Changes in Step-Distance, and Changes in Velocity; Section 3.4: More Extensions to Non-Motion Rate Situations-Units and Equations (Optional)
