Build student understanding and ability to look for patterns, analyze data, and use their own mathematical rules in the context of a photo finish they orchestrate.
Takeaways
- Build positive mathematical identity by using math to describe their situation.
- Create a richer understanding of the mathematics they do when they create rules (functions) to describe the movement of their object.
- Collaborate and problem solve with others to create an collective experience connecting mathematics and science.
