Rate of Change [Unguided]

A simulation where learners explore rate of change by adjusting variables on a graph, observing how changes in x and y affect slope, and connecting real-world scenarios to linear relationships.

Lab objectives and outcomes

Students will be able to demonstrate how adjusting the x and y variables on a graph dynamically changes the slope of the resulting linear relationship.
Students will be able to analyze real-world scenarios to model their underlying linear relationships graphically, identifying the rate of change.
Students will be able to differentiate between positive, negative, and zero rates of change by observing and manipulating the slope of various linear graphs.
