Big day today! Everything you’ll need is here, files, instructions, etc, but I have also put copies of everything in sakai as well, just in case things go awry from here.
First, download and print a copy of this, just in case we have problems in the bors today:
Student tables and graphs by amcsquared
Next, get this geogebra open and at the ready.
In it, you’ll find a virtual ferris wheel, on which you can move the little green car around. As you do, you’ll notice the ordered pair that follows it:
The instructions are all right there in the ggb, but basically you’ll be making two graphs about this green car, one about how high it is above the grass at various times, and the other about how far from the brick wall it is at various times. If our bors work well, you’ll be doing those graphs there, if not, you’ll be doing them on the printouts.
Once those graphs are done, you’ll be uploading a shot of them to the padlet walls below.
This is not for marks, this is for full-on learning, so relax, focus, and have fun! Although fun is not how I would describe my last time on a ferris wheel:
