Methods of Instruction
Technology-Based Student Activities
Gain and keep the
attention of
students.
The students will start each day of class by watching an
entertainingSlide Rocket Presentation on function families with
color, audio, and animation.
The teacher will periodically walk around the laband redirect
students that are off-task.
The teacher will keep students focused on learning using SMART
Sync™ classroom management software. The teacher will view
each student’scomputer screen on the teacher computer and
monitor their activities. The teacherwill interact with students
through the management software to keep them engaged and on-
task.
Incorporate relevant
prior learning.
The students will complete a warm-up activity each day via Smart
Notebook Software clickers. The questions on the warm-up will
cover the previous lessons on the characteristics of a function.
The teacher will analyze student responses and use SMART
Sync™ to communicate feedback to the students.
Highlight and stress
important
information.
The teacher will provide note-taking guides to accompany each
day’s lesson.Students will receive a hard copy as well as a
computer copy using Google Documents. They should fill these
in as they watch the presentation.
The teacher will use the teacher computer and overhead projector
to display key words and important definitions.
Present lesson in an
organized manner.
The lesson, which is presented in story format, will followa logical
sequence as it introduces new concepts and skills.
Once students have mastered the characteristics of manipulating
the example graph, they will be slowly introduced to the algebraic
parent graphs.
Studentswill then take each of the parent graphs and shift them up
or down. Next students will move to the more complex concept of
reflecting a function over the x-axis. Finally,the lessonwill show
students how to combine the steps for vertically manipulating a
function.

Show students how
to chunk related
information.
The graphic organizers and note-taking guideswill allow students
togroupthe concepts into categories and manageable steps.
The activities will teach students inductive reasoning as theywill
construct or evaluate general propositions about functions that are
derived from specific examples.
Provide activities
for students which
allow them to
elaborate on new
information.
The students will perform activities that will allow them to
connect the graphing of functions to what they already know about
the behaviors of positive and negative numbers.
The students will perform activities that will allow them to
connect the graphing of functions to each other.
The students will look for similarities and differences between the
different functions andtheir algebraic equations.
Show students how
to use coding when
memorizing
concepts and facts
The students will learn what the graph of each function looks like
by relating it to an animal that is similar in appearance.
The students will learn the names of the functions by giving the
animals that are connected to each graph a name that starts with the
same letter.
The students will learn how to graphically manipulate the graph of
a function by relating the aspects of their equations to the behavior
of the animal.
Provide students
the opportunity for
repetition of
learning.
The students will receive the information and practice on the
behaviors of functions several times in various ways.
The students will collaborate with peers and ask questions or help
explain the material.
The students will complete homework activities that reinforce the
material that was learned that day.
Provide activities
for automaticity of
fundamental
concepts and skills.
The students will continue to review graphing skills and the basic
properties of functions throughout the course of the lesson through
warm-up activities and the test review.
The students will use the Senteofree-response system to access
drill and practice on the basic concepts involved with functions.
The students will access a SMARTNotebook file that will allow
them to practice manipulating the graphs of functions in the
coordinate plane.

♦ Offering opportunities for encoding
specificity: The lesson is entirely technology-
based and all assessments are technology-based.
Whatever cues are used by students to facilitate
encoding will also serve as the best retrieval cues
at test time.
Offering opportunities to counteract
interference: The lesson provides lots of practice
on previously learned material through the warm-
up activities, so retroactive interference
(interference from newly learned material) is
counteracted.
Offering opportunities to counteract proactive
interference: The lesson has teachers signal key
ideas and definitions which counteract proactive
interference or when previous learned material

Sample Slide A
Slidefrom SlideRocketfrom Function Families Presentation
MEET BUZZ
Buzz is a freshman in High School and lives with
his parents. The street that he lives on is the y-
axis.
f(x) = Buzz
Buzz is at his parents'
home when his stinger
is on the origin. We call
this the “origin point”.

Sample Slide B
Slide from SlideRocketPresenting Vertical Shift from Function Families Presentation
BUZZ VISITING FRIENDS
Vertical Shift
Buzz likes to visit his friends on the street (y-
axis).
Buzz visits Bill
when he moves
his origin point 5
blocks up.
f(x) = Buzz + 5
Buzz visits Nancy
when he moves his
origin point 7
blocks down (-7).
f(x) = Buzz – 7

Sample Slide C
Slide from SlideRocketPresenting Vertical Reflection from Function Families Presentation
BUZZ SLEEPING
Vertical Reflection
When Buzz sleeps, he sleeps upside (vertically flips
over his origin point). When we refer to Buzz in
this position, we write
f(x) = -Buzz.
The negative sign in front of his name indicates
that he is in the sleeping
position. If there is
not a sign at all
or a positive sign is in
front means that he is
in the awake position.
This is Buzz asleep
at his parent's
house.

Activity on Linear Regression Which Serves as an Additional Activity
“Extra Time” Activity
Basics of Linear Regression
Page 1
If you complete all components of the lesson on Function Families, use the extra
time to complete this activity.
1. Before you perform any Internet research, estimate the ages of each
of the famous people above. Fill in the appropriate column in the chart
(x-value).
2. Using the Internet, research each of the famous people and record
their ages in the appropriate column in the chart (y-value).
How well were you able to estimate the ages of these famous
people?
3. To help answer this question, first of all make a scatterplot
usingtheestimate of their age as the x-value and the actual age asy-
value. Use the graph paper attached. Be sure to give it a title, use
appropriate increments on the axes, and label each axis.
4. If you estimated the age correctly, what istrue about this point?
5. Sketchagraphofthe line of estimates that were 100% accurate.
6. What is the equation of this line?
7. What does it mean if a point on your scatterplot is above this line?

Page 2
8. In general, did you overestimate or underestimate the ages of your
famous people?
9. How can you tell this from your scatter plot?
10. Plot the points on your TI-83 Plus graphing calculator.
11. Have the calculator calculate linear regression and draw this line. What
is the equation of this line?
12. Sketch this line on your graph paper.
13. Write a paragraph that discusses the slopes of your lines and the
characteristics of your data. What conclusions can you draw?
