Graphing - Mass of Marbles & Pennies: Notes, Proportionality Constant, Slope KEY
This is a set of notes + activity focused on teaching students to connect a data table to a graph to slope of a line through the idea of 'Constant of Proportionality'. Students are to find the total mass of sets of pennies and marbles and then graph Mass vs Number. From a line on the graph, they will find the slope of the line and connect it to the mass of a single penny (and marble) in the analysis questions. This is the first in a series of 4 activities that focus on linear relationships betwe
