Standards / Framework:
What will students learn in this activity?
Students will create a numerical pattern using a given rule and apply to generate ordered pairs. Students will explain the relationship between the numbers.
What should students know before this activity?
This lesson would be useful after an introduction to numerical patterns and ordered pairs.
How can teachers introduce this lesson?
- Read and discuss the sample comic.
- What rule is Professor McBean’s machine following?
- Use the table linked in the Resources section to show the ordered pairs depicted in the comic.
What will students do?
-
Students will discuss and explain the relationship between the x and y in an ordered pair.
-
Students can practice generating ordered pairs using two given rules, e.g., starting with 0, add 4 and starting with 0, add 6.
-
Using the sample comic and the table as a guide, students will depict three ordered pairs in a comic. Have students explain the relationship between the numbers in the final panel.
-
Have students create their own comic with a different numerical pattern.
How can teachers wrap up the lesson?
- Have students work in pairs to check their work.
How can teachers differentiate this activity?
-
Allow students to use the speech-to-text feature.
- Allow students to use the voiceover feature to read their comics aloud.
