Instructional Ideas
- Use as an introduction to linear systems
- Extend example one by asking how the graph would change if one person was walking faster or slower and how it affects the intersection point
- Write a description about each intersection point using context and specific units and measures
Classroom Considerations
- Using stairs may reinforce the common misconception that a line with a negative slope means a person is walking downhill; front load the concept of a distance vs. time graph to rectify this problem
Pros
- Well-designed lesson with introduction and conclusion activity
- All handouts and keys are included
Cons
- None
