Distance - Time Graphs

Activity Overview

CBR™ and Graphing Calculators allow a conceptual understanding of distance-time graphs.
Created in conjunction with California State University Bakersfield Professor Dr. P. Michael Lutz through funds provided by the California Mathematics Project.

Before the Activity

Graphing Calculators should be setup before class in order to avoid confusion and time problems. Students should be exposed to the CBR™ before lesson in order to accomplish time constraints.

During the Activity

CBR™ and Graphing Calculators allow a conceptual understanding of distance-time graphs.
Created in conjunction with California State University Bakersfield Professor Dr. P. Michael Lutz through funds provided by the California Mathematics Project.

After the Activity

Review student results:

    As a class, discuss questions that appeared to be more challenging
    Re-teach concepts as necessary
