Day 2 - Clip 1
Exploring Speed From A Graph of Clown’s Walk

In day two of the lesson sequence, Ms. Coombs re-visits Clown by focusing on a graph of Clown’s walk showing his distance from start as a function of time. She then asks the students what they can determine about the speed of Clown by looking at the graph. Symone focuses on the quantities of distance and time by looking at how many feet Clown travels in a certain amount of time. Ryan then offers an answer that focuses on the steepness of the line as an indication of speed. Ms. Coombs highlights Ryan’s answer and follows by asking students if they can use Ryan’s method to determine the portion of the graph where Clown was traveling fastest. This discussion continues for the remainder of the class.
