Activity Synthesis
The purpose of this discussion is to help students make connections between the table, graph, and equation that describe this situation. Ask students to share who connected this activity to the lessons on exponents, or who recognize that the quantities in this relationship are changing with respect to each other in a different manner than previous examples they have seen.
Consider asking some of these questions:
“Which of the data, equation, or graph gives you more of a feel for how the mosquito population changes with the day in the study?”
“Think back to the lesson on exponents with the dot pattern and the Genie activity. How do those situations compare with this mosquito situation? How would tables of data, graphs, and equations compare?”
“What are some similarities and differences you noticed between all the relationships you've seen in the last few lessons?”
Speaking, Listening: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
To support whole-class discussion, display sentence frames such as, “The dot pattern is similar to/ different than the mosquito situation because ________,” and “The genie situation is similar to/ different than the mosquito situation because ________.” This routine will support rich and inclusive discussion about the similarities and differences between all of the relationships students have seen in the last few lessons.
Design Principle(s): Optimize output (for comparison); Cultivate conversation
