Hands on activities give students the opportunity to understand and investigate core ideas in mathematics; students can both visualize and apply these concepts to real life situations. This reinforces the fact that mathematics surrounds our everyday lives.
This hands on activity requires students to drop a "bouncy" ball from 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 75cm. Each drop is repeated three times to find an average. On each drop, the height at which the ball bounces back up is recorded. Student will graph the data on a coordinate plane, and writes an equation using the data and the slope-intercept formula.
