Lesson Plans and Teaching Materials

  1. Do in May when Indy500 takes place.INDY 500 (a lesson by Susan Boone) Students will find the mean and median speed for the Indianapolis 500. Rates per lap will be calculated as well as the length of each lap. Students will need to research information via the Internet. Algebra I: Mean, Median, Interpreting Data, Finding Rates, Times, and Distances.

Lessons Developed by Susan Boone © June 1995 Lessons developed by Susan Boone, a participant of GirlTECH '95, a program funded by CRPC Rice University and the RUSMP. A Functional Housing Market asks students to search the Internet for housing prices and compare them to the area of a house, thus deriving a linear equation. The Internet Pizza Server lets students order pizzas, calculating their area and determine the better buy. With Pop Clock, students look at the census site, study data and make predictions on future populations. Find the mean and median speeds for racers in the INDY 500. Study rates and speeds by using the Real-Time Traffic Report

This lab-based unit will take approximately three class days (our periods are 45-50 minutes) and a couple of hours outside class for the students to complete. At the beginning of the project students will be given a packet including a description of the project, instructions for creating translation, reflection and rotation tessellations, and the rubric (this is a Word 5.1 document) which is to be used to evaluate student work. Students should be given the three class days to work at their own pace on the project. Prior: translation, rotation, reflection and vectors or the project will not be successful. Geometer's Sketch Pad , technology to really focus on transformational geometry while they are creating the tessellations.
