3. Students will view a short clip from the beginning of Indiana Jones and the Raiders of The Lost Ark.
4. Basic knowledge should include a basic knowledge of algebra and the Cartesian coordinate system.
5. In today’s lesson we will investigate some of the math aspects of this Indiana Jones movie and see how they relate to functions and the coordinate systems.
44. Students will then use a ruler to draw a line of best fit through the points.
45. At this point, the time when Indiana exits the cave will be provided. Students must decide if the math supports Indiana’s miraculous escape.
46. Then the class will briefly discuss equations of the form y=mx+b and create tables from the equations to see how they support the functions found in class.
47. Ask some of the checking for understanding questions.
48. Students may keep their graphing activity so that they can complete their worksheet and homework, but it should be turned in the next day with their homework.
49. Students will then be given a worksheet that they can start on in class as guided practice and finish as homework. Students will also be assigned the homework from section 2.1: 15-68 Even.
