Exercising on a stationary bike is a powerful manner to get into bodily form and improve your health.

1. Recumbent Exercise Bike
Problem & Solution
Altered from a lesson indication from Dr. Bardzell

2. Principles
 Sc : 8th grade: 8.1.A.1.C decide whether relationships are linear or nonlinear whilst
represented in words, in a desk, symbolically, or in a graph al- use a graph to decide if a
courting is linear or nonlinear
 Sc : algebra 1: aim 1 the student will demonstrate the capacity to research, interpret, and
speak solutions to mathematical and real-international issues the use of styles, features
and algebra. Expectation 1 the scholar will examine a huge variety of styles and
purposeful relationships the use of the language of mathematics and appropriate
generation. Indicator 1 the scholar will understand, describe and/or enlarge styles and
useful relationships which can be expressed numerically, algebraically, and/or
geometrically. Al: the pupil will represent styles and/or purposeful relationships in a
desk, as a graph, and/or through mathematical expression.
 Middle standards: eight.F.5. Describe qualitatively the purposeful dating between
portions via reading a graph (e.G., in which the characteristic is growing or reducing,
linear or nonlinear). Comic strip a graph that reveals the qualitative capabilities of a
feature that has been defined verbally.

3. Apprentice Framework
Objective: students will discover the connection between work and
“steepness” of the landscape by means of sketching a graph of the
elevation required to reap a sample exercising motorbike exercise
Warm-up: cartoon a graph that demonstrates a positive or bad correlation
among variables.
Dialogue: exercise motorcycles, effort, and analyzing the display screen of
an exercising machine
Interest: you may be requested to sketch the panorama that might be
accountable for the exercising which you are supplied
Discussion: the relationship among effort and elevation, the relationship
between attempt and “steepness”

4. Object lesson Strategy Specifics
 Heat-up: have college students cartoon a graph that demonstrates a fantastic or bad correlation
between variables.
 On account that not all college students have enjoy with exercising bikes, students and the trainer
will engage in a dialogue approximately workout motorcycles, effort, and analyzing the screen
 Students might be asked to sketch the panorama that would be accountable for the exercise that
they are supplied
 Instructor notes: in maximum instances, students will create parabola that looks like a hill; if this
doesn't take place the following step may not be as important
 The instructor and students will “ride” their motorcycles, this interactive revel in is designed to
make college students sincerely consider the incline and attempt that is required for every degree
(1 minute block) of the workout profile; college students will describe the landscape in terms of
“steepness”
 The trainer will permit college students to re-sketch their graphs
 The trainer will waft around the room having small institution discussions with students about
their graphs and the way they came up with their elevation growth/decline

5. o Questions:
 Does your graph constitute the effort required for the stationary motorcycle
exercising?
 Need to your landscape have any downward sloping sections? Why? Why no longer?
 What does each boom in the desk bound bike workout suggest for the elevation of
your landscape?
o The complete class could have a dialogue approximately the elevation and
the rate at which it will increase or decreases
o Students will create a table that demonstrates the relationship between
time, effort degree, and elevation of the actual existence hill
o College students will use this facts to deduce statistics approximately the
“fee of increase” among every stage (minute)
o 6th and 7th grade college students can whole this pastime while not
having a clean know-how of slope due to the fact the language may be
centered in the actual global
o 8th grade and algebra 1 students can use their information of slope to
discover the linear and quadratic courting among the variables (see lesson
wrap up)

6. Precipitate Query
Create a cartoon of the panorama elevation that
could be required for this workout profile.

7. Distinction
There are times throughout the lesson for the trainer to have a 1 on
1 communication and lesson with college students that conflict
College students that lack the vocabulary and heritage knowledge for
a dialogue on slope can talk the hobby in phrases of “steepness”
Trade pastime: some students can also discover it hard to move from
the abstract (motorbike screen) to the actual world (elevation).
Instead, a few college students might be given the challenge in
opposite. With a given elevation sketch, they might ought to chart the
effort required over time to ride the terrain
