Shake Your Groove

Project Objectives
  • Recognize graphs of common relations without hesitation
  • Connect equations to their equivalent graphs and tables
  • Integrate technology and the arts to create a visual representation of equivalent forms of common relations

Directions
Dance Project
Develop dance moves to showcase the graphs of various functions. Work with your group to choose your music and choreograph your dance. Include props for visual appeal. Use a sheet of paper to list your equations and draw the graphs. Use a ruler to draw straight lines. When naming your lines, be specific. For example, write y=- 4; do not write y=constant. BE NEAT! Do not procrastinate. Make arrangements with the teacher to stay after school to practice your dance with your group if you need additional time to practice.

Slideshow Project
Create a digital presentation to showcase the digital images of your group modeling common relations. Graph each equation using a graphing calculator, and include the calculator screens or the equivalent tables and graphs in your project. 

The slideshow presentation should be 3- to 5-minutes long. The slideshow should have at least nine slides plus one concluding slide that addresses the question, How can we communicate ideas through movement?
