Chapter 4: Lessons and Activities

Activity Name Activity Description
Function Machine Students investigate very simple functions by trying to guess the algebraic form from inputs and outputs.
Linear Function Machine Students investigate linear functions by trying to guess the slope and intercept from inputs and outputs.
Positive Linear Function Machine Students investigate linear functions with positive slopes by trying to guess the slope and intercept from inputs and outputs.
Coloring Multiples in Pascal's Triangle Students color numbers in Pascal's Triangle by rolling a number and then clicking on all entries that are multiples of the number rolled, thereby practicing multiplication tables investigating number patterns, and investigating fractal patterns.
Coloring Remainders in Pascal's Triangle Students color numbers in Pascal's Triangle by rolling a number and then clicking on all entries that have the same remainder when divided by the number rolled, thereby practicing multiplication tables, investigating number patterns, and investigating fractal patterns.

Lesson Name Lesson Description
Patterns In Pascal's Triangle Shows students that number patterns exist in the Pascal's Triangle, and reinforces student's ability to identify patterns.
