Math Libs Lesson 1 Graphing Lines SD Introduction
Math Libs Lesson 1 Graphing Lines SD Introduction Have you seen Mad Libs before? This is a Math Lib! Fill in the blanks, sketch your pieces, animate your story in Choreo Graph, and you will be using linear equations and graphs to make it all happen. Sample solution, yours will probably look a lot different since it will be, you know, yours!
To do You will be creating your own story below, and then animating the scene in Choreo Graph. Follow these steps to make it all happen. 1) First, fill in the blanks in the story. 2) Make sketches of your character and scene. You can even draw the entire scene, take a picture of that, to use as the background in Choreo Graph. 3) Take pics of your sketches in Choreo Graph, and trace around the parts one at a time. When you have them all at the right size, you’re ready to tap “Animate.” 4) The first keyframe at the bottom of the screen is the starting point. Arrange the scene accordingly. 5) The motion in the story can take time to develop. At keyframe 2, slide some of the parts in your story small distances, and then again for keyframes 3, 4 and so on. You can tap play to check the motion at any point. 6) Program all the motion of your story, and tap play. Did your character recover the thing that needed recovering? 7) Share with classmates, and answer the questions below.
Title of Story:
Recovery of the ____________________ ____________________ is at the bottom of Mt. ____________________ at (35, 15) and must get to the top to recover the stolen ____________________ at (35,15). There are a few obstacles along the way! At (10, 10) there's a ____________________ and at (0,0) there's a ____________________. Also at (10,10) there's a ____________________. Fill in the blanks, draw them, then create a path in CG to successfully get ____________________ to the top.
Sketches go here, use more paper if needed
Questions
1) What is the slope of your mountain? (If there are a few different slopes to the mountain, find them!) 2) What are the coordinates of your main character’s path, and how many different line segments are there? 3) What are the slopes of your different line segments? 4) What are the equations of four important line segments? (Important refers to moments in the story where your character moved to evade an obstacle, for example.)
5) Are any of your segments parallel? How do you know? 6) Are any of your segments perpendicular? How do you know? 7) If each unit on the grid is 100 ft., how far did your main character travel to get to the top of the mountain? 8) Use the math from your scene to describe how your main character evaded the obstacles and achieved successful recovery.
