Students form two equal piles of money to represent two students sharing a limousine, three equal piles of money to represent three students, four equal piles of money to represent four students sharing a limousine, etc. Students use the information from the table to arrive at cost per student expressed as a function of the number of students. Quadratic and other non linear functions. The student understands there are situations modeled by functions that are neither linear nor quadratic and models the situations. Express the number of layers of paper obtained with respect to the number of folds made.
Students actually fold a piece of paper to begin generating data for the table.
Students plot the information on a graph and use the graph to predict the number of layers after 8 folds. Express the area of each of the folded sections with respect to the number of folds made.
