I think suggesting starting with 0 stones is a great way to talk about their "y-intercept" which is also called the starting point. This gives them a place to start with their graphs and will help them see the rate of change from the beginning. Excellent work and will be using this in my Algebra classAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-6056687857244803072018-01-02T19:04:05.944-06:002018-01-02T19:04:05.944-06:00i TEACH 2ND GRADE AND WE ARE READING THE FABLE FOR...i TEACH 2ND GRADE AND WE ARE READING THE FABLE FOR A DIFFERENT REASON: SEQUENCING.

I did a version in Algebra 1 with marbles and one big cylinder, but I think that each pair of kids having their own cylinder is a much better option. I also like that your stones were not perfectly consistent. The marbles I used did have a nice, clean result, but I think that calculating average rate of change is a useful extension, without adding too many obstacles for students. You can see my reflections on this lesson here: http://17goldenfish.com/2015/12/05/the-thirsty-crow/ I also made a video while we were doing this, in case I find myself without the supplies on hand. Thanks, as always, for sharing!Nathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678868201951749642noreply@blogger.com
