Module 4: Characteristics of Function Families
This module uses multiple technologies, a Desmos activity that uses tables and graphing tools and a GeoGebra activity that uses a simulation and spreadsheets, to explore the differences in rates of change in linear, quadratic, and exponential situations. Teachers will examine students using these technologies to build an understanding of different ways in which various attributes can change over time and consider the ways in which the technology supports students’ exploration and understanding of rate of change. Video clips, images of student work, and a pre-populated Desmos teacher dashboard provide a context for teachers to develop their noticing, selecting and sequencing, and questioning skills.
This module could be used alongside a Chapter from Teaching Algebra materials:
Chapter 5: Rate of Change.
