Discussion
On overhead, show BLM 3.3.1 and discusses various aspects of the graph.
This may be best done using an overhead graphing calculator, with the
2
equation y = 0.5(x – 10)
– 15. This will help solidify different skills needed
for the worksheet later in the period (i.e. using TABLE command to get a
table of values, entering a equation into the calculator, graphing, etc)
Action!

Complete the first page of BLM3.3.2 with the students. Students continue to
work through BLM 3.3.2 using the TI-83 graphing calculator or by hand.
