#2: Journey to the Bus Stop
Key topics taught: Functions, graphing, modeling.
Prior knowledge required: Graphing equations in two variables.
Materials: Depends on how much time you have!

Every morning Tom walks from his home to a bus stop, a distance of 160 meters. The graph shows his journey
on one particular day.
Study the graph.
Could you write a short paragraph describing Tom’s walk to the bus stop?

#3: Factoring Competition
Key topics taught- factorization
Prior knowledge required- prime and composite numbers
Materials- copies of factor gathering table (or make own)
Be sure to play against the class for a few rounds!
![Page 10: Susan M. Johnson & Kendall Wahba Greenville Technical College Greenville, SC](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649dc95503460f94ac0460/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Start by playing a few rounds with the class.
Team A is Kendall - Representing students
Team B is Susan - Representing the instructor

Team A chooses a number and gets the equivalent value in points. Team B gets points for any remaining
factors. Cross off the numbers gathered.

Cross out the remaining factors. Team B receives this total in points.

Now it is Team B’s turn to start. Let’s say they choose #29. Now
their point total is 71 (42+29).

Team A will not receive any points because the only remaining factor of 29
is 1 and it has already been crossed off!
