Real World Math with Javan Rhinos

Real World Math with Javan Rhinos

$48.00Price

Unlike other rhinos—which are very vocal—the Javan Rhino is a quiet animal which has made them difficult to study. They're so quiet because they're constantly doing word problems in their head. This class is a comprehensive math review of previously studied terms through word problems, during which students will strengthen their weaker areas of math.

 

Through in-class activities and independent practice word problems, students will review:

  • Determining the rate of change between two points using the Cartesian coordinate plane

  • Using one point on the Cartesian coordinate plane and a linear rate of change to locate the coordinates of another point on that line

  • Graphing linear equations by finding multiple solutions to the equations and recording them in x-y tables

  • Using the graph of a linear relationship to write the equation of the line

  • Creating a table of values to approximate the path of a line or curve of best fit

  • Creating a table of "changes" to approximate the local rate of change of lines and curves of best fit

  • Creating equations of functions in both standard and factored form to match a specified graph

  • Calculating whole number distances between two points on the Cartesian coordinate plane using the Pythagorean Theorem

  • Reflecting shapes on a coordinate grid over a line of reflection

  • Transforming a given shape to a target shape by dilating, rotating, translating, or reflecting

          *There is an additional $45 charge for DreamBox, which is a one-time purchase for the entire school year. Here at The Thinking Kid, we utilize the DreamBox Math App to enable our students to practice math skills outside of the classroom. DreamBox engages students through math games to test their proficiency in math concepts discussed in class. DreamBox access is essential to student success in our math program.
