My Grades 9, 10, 11, 12

Objectives

Students will be able to know the basic functions of a tape measure and how to read it to determine proper measurements. This will include the proper reading of measurements in both inches and feet. As well as the proper way to use a tape measure in a carpentry environment.

Six question Kahoot based on the various measurement lines and uses of a tape measure to determine prior knowledge

Student Instructions

Anonymous answer of kahoot questions to see who knows what a tape measure is and why it is important

2 Direct Instruction

Activity: Exploring

Hands On

Have students use tape measure to measure five items in the room based on their prior knowledge of the tape measure.

Student Instructions

Choose five items to measure and make your best guess. Write down your answers

3 Guided Instruction

Edmodo

Free

Explain each line in an inch from 1/16th to 1/8th,1/4,1/2

Draw inch out for students review

Show edmodo with construction mistakes that could have been solved with proper measuring.

Student Instructions

Draw your own inch and label it

watch video

4 Independent Instruction

Activity: Conversing

Re-measure the same five items as before use proper measurement

Student Instructions

Re-measure the five items and write down correct measurement

Building Functions
HSF.BF: Build A Function That Models A Relationship Between Two Quantities
HSF.BF.1	Write a function that describes a relationship between two quantities.

HSF.BF.1.a	Determine an explicit expression, a recursive process, or steps for calculation from a context.

HSF.BF.1.b	Combine standard function types using arithmetic operations. For example, build a function that models the temperature of a cooling body by adding a constant function to a decaying exponential, and relate these functions to the model.

HSF.BF.1.c	(+) Compose functions. For example, if T(y) is the temperature in the atmosphere as a function of height, and h(t) is the height of a weather balloon as a function of time, then T(h(t)) is the temperature at the location of the weather balloon as a function of time.

HSF.BF.2	Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and translate between the two forms.★
Build New Functions From Existing Functions
HSF.BF.3	Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k f(x), f(kx), and f(x + k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph using technology. Include recognizing even and odd functions from their graphs and algebraic expressions for them.

HSF.BF.4	Find inverse functions.

HSF.BF.4.a	Solve an equation of the form f(x) = c for a simple function f that has an inverse and write an expression for the inverse. For example, f(x) =2 x3 or f(x) = (x+1)/(x–1) for x ≠ 1.

HSF.BF.4.b	(+) Verify by composition that one function is the inverse of another.

HSF.BF.4.c	(+) Read values of an inverse function from a graph or a table, given that the function has an inverse.

HSF.BF.4.d	(+) Produce an invertible function from a non-invertible function by restricting the domain.

HSF.BF.5	(+) Understand the inverse relationship between exponents and logarithms and use this relationship to solve problems involving logarithms and exponents.
