Ep 69: Equations of Lines Pt 1
from Math is Figure-Out-Able! · host Pam Harris
We've talked a lot about the types of reasoning we need to help students develop, but a lot of teachers believe that there comes a point in higher math where reasoning just won't cut it. In this episode Pam and Kim tackle functional reasoning, and demonstrate that algebra can be so much more than memorized steps.Talking Points:Is using the procedure of finding slope, plugging into a formula, etc the most efficient?The importance of working with intuitionExamples of using patterns that you notice to find the equation of a line without formulasIntuitively finding the equation of a line in standard form
