Walking With Henri and Emile!

Walking With Henri and Emile Sketchpad tutorial.

One of the learning goals for Unit 5 (Moving Straight Ahead) is "I can construct tables, graphs, and symbolic equations that express linear relationships."

I've put together a Sketchpad tutorial to show you (or your students) how the investigation with Henri and Emile can be represented using dynamic software. You may want to use this tutorial to teach yourself how to construct the representation and then lead your students through it, or set it up as an independent activity.

Have fun!

Representing Stories Graphically

The Geometer's Sketchpad can do so much more than build polygons! Use this sketch to help your 7th graders build their connections between graphic representations and real-world situations.

This sketch, while excellent for demonstration purposes, is ideally put into the hands of students so they can manipulate the variables and see how their actions impact the graph and the action.
