video 1 - making sure everyone understands the table

Pindi Graphs 3.4.mp4

  • Why does the teacher remind the students of what they had done previously?
  • What are the benefits to the students of the teacher drawing the table on the chalk board?
  • Do you think it was a good idea to leave the table blank? Why?

The teacher reminds the students of work they had done on this enquiry in a previous lesson. She has planned for the students to do quite a lot of graph drawing as part of this enquiry on exponentials.



Add some videos of Pindi describing in detail how to draw up and fill in results table. Include a student completed worksheet (measuring pulse rate) for critique.
