Do you give the students a "preview catalog" so they see all the lots at once or do you show each lot one at a time? <br />Thinking this will work well for Complementary and Supplementary angles! Also wished I had thought of it for right triangles...ah, next year.

Part 1 is the auction, each team bids on one or more of the 12 items. At the end of the bidding the person or team that has purchased the most Lots wins. Then there is the discussion about whether they are functions or not which is a separate issue and is not connected to the answers for the functions. I just want to make sure I have this correct. Or, do you do the auction and then as you discuss the answers if a team gets it wrong they lose their lot so at the end of the discussion people who have answered the questions correctly keep their lots and from there you determine a winner.SnglMmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06991330200263957931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-59587383020816652492017-09-04T19:23:43.657-05:002017-09-04T19:23:43.657-05:00I've never specified that before.

Love the activity. <br /><br />Do you ask if they are "functions of x, or a specified input?" Lot 12 is a function of t: f(t)=(sin(t),t). I always got confused in high school when we got to paremetric equations because we were seeing functions that dont pass the vertical line test. So I specify to my Alg 1 Ss "function of x". <br /><br />Thanks again for all of your amazing posts! <br />Seanmrcoreymathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16691037893303400034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-61214268960978278872016-08-21T21:24:58.660-05:002016-08-21T21:24:58.660-05:00I've been waiting to use this for a year and I...I've been waiting to use this for a year and I'm ready this week. How many examples did you do before you did the auction? Did you already talk about the definition and vertical line test before you did this? About how much time do you think this activity took? I'm switchign from block to regular schedule classes and timing is driving me nuts :)Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00794988224861592536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-46650922398547090112016-07-31T10:21:38.133-05:002016-07-31T10:21:38.133-05:00Thanks, Elizabeth!Thanks, Elizabeth!Sarah Carter (@mathequalslove)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11839095945000612533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-64471546790839648272016-07-31T10:21:15.885-05:002016-07-31T10:21:15.885-05:00Glad to hear it went well!Glad to hear it went well!Sarah Carter (@mathequalslove)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11839095945000612533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-65430478317119733572016-07-31T10:20:54.727-05:002016-07-31T10:20:54.727-05:00You're welcome!You're welcome!Sarah Carter (@mathequalslove)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11839095945000612533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-74224758488647112492016-06-01T15:27:55.377-05:002016-06-01T15:27:55.377-05:00I am totally using this in the fall!

My students are always perplexed by a vertical line - some students don't see that as failing the vertical line test, but it's a good time to remind them that line have infinite points.
