Ms. Fara McDonald is a super model in my book! She did an excellent job modeling the completion of a table for her students today. Not only did she show the students how to complete the table by using the equation, but they also looked at the pattern that was created and continued the pattern to finish up the table. Wow, two GLEs for the price of one, equations and patterning! I love it. She also stopped along the way and had the students relate the y-intercept back to the equation as well as look at the rate of increase/decrease and connect it back to the equation. At the very end, she went back to the equation and plugged in the last y-value, just to check themselves and make sure they had followed the pattern correctly. I think she gets credit for another GLE!
Model job, Ms. McDonald! Way to go!
