Function Table ppt description
This PowerPoint is ten slides long and builds on previous knowledge of a simple function. This lesson satisfies the requirement for common core 8.F.1 and several other standards. It is well suited for the intermediate (middle) school students. Slide #2 is the vocabulary slide and the animation identifies the input and output coordinates. Slide #3 illustrates how the input, function and output are used to create an ordered pair. The animations are slow to begin with to allow the instructor to describe what is happen and then they speed with each new line. One concept that is stressed is identifying the y-intercept because this realization is needed for building equations later. On slide #4 the ordered pairs of the previous slide is graphed. This is a linear line. Slides #5 and 6 is similar to 3 and 4 except the line is non-linear. Slide #7 is a summary slide followed by two exit question slides.
Note: My philosophy for slide shows. Long slide shows become very boring very quick. I use slide shows to model a concept. Because I teach the same lesson multiply times there are certain things I like to stress. If it is on a slide I don’t forget it. I like to use animations to hold the students attention. I normally will have a vocabulary slide for students to copy into their notebook. Hence the “white note taking icon” on the vocabulary slides. I generally will have two avatars in the bottom of the slide to guide the students through the slides. The avatars will ask questions to one another or corny jokes that students don’t understand. My students enjoy reading what is on the callouts of the avatars this allows for more interaction within the classroom. At the end of my slide show I like to have exit questions or a summary slide. If you purchase this please adapt it to your classroom. Last slide as my e-mail address, if you find errors regardless how small please e-mail me and inform me so I can make corrections.
