Graphing Tarps

Description

Take graphing off the page or screen and into life-sized scale! Students can plot, follow, and move along points and functions at body scale. One 8x8 foot tarp for whole class work. Three 4x4 foot tarps for small group work. Beanbags, dry erase markers and giant-sized compasses for plotting points and curves.

Resources

See the downloadable activities below.

PLOTTING POINTS

This set of 2 activities uses the context of map navigation to introduce plotting and identifying points on the Cartesian plane.

POINT SLOPE

This set of 2 activities uses body-scale movement to identify and graph functions in point-slope form.

SLOPE INTERCEPT

This set of 2 activities uses body-scale movement to identify and graph functions in slope-intercept form.

VECTOR ART

In these activities, students take on the role of vector graphics art software, using the equations for points, lines, and curves to create recognizable images.
