<strong>Algebra</strong> Activity<br />
Recording Sheet<br />
Head versus Height<br />
(p. 218 of this booklet)<br />
Use With the activity on page 83 in Lesson 2-5<br />
of the Student Edition.<br />
Objective Find and use prediction equations.<br />
Materials<br />
tape measures<br />
Form groups of two or three students to collect<br />
the data for this activity. Have each group<br />
measure their height and the circumference<br />
of their head. Then have them record the<br />
measurements in ordered pairs (height,<br />
circumference). Next, ask them to gather the<br />
data from the other groups. Using the data,<br />
each group makes a scatter plot and completes<br />
Exercises 2 through 5. Allow time for students<br />
to share and explain their work.<br />

<strong>Algebra</strong> 2—Chapter 2<br />
Use With Lesson 2-6.<br />
Objective Graph absolute value functions.<br />
Have students work in pairs. As soon as each<br />
pair has finished tracing the graph of y x,<br />
you may want to do Exercise 1 <strong>with</strong> the class.<br />
Prior to class, prepare a transparency of the<br />
graph of y x, and also, have another<br />
coordinate grid transparency to show the graph<br />
of y x 1.Then model the same procedure<br />
as the students. Make the graph for y x 1<br />
on the transparency. Place the graph of<br />
y x 1 on the graph of y x.Ask the<br />
students to compare the two graphs. Display<br />
the answer.<br />
