Topic: Organizing and displaying data
Evergreen Curriculum Objectives
Website: Billy the Bug (Coordinate Plane)
Explain how you would have your students use the website
In the Math 9 unit on data management the students need to display data using scatterplots. Scatterplots are created using a coordinate plane and points. Students will need to become familiar with the coordinate plane. This website contains an excellent activity that is engaging and familiarizes students with the coordinate plane, x and y axis, and points. Students are asked to help feed Billy the bug and his quest for food. Students will be given and x and y value and are asked to guide him to that point where is food is located. I would use this website as an introduction to scatterplots.
Explain how it would enhance your student's learning
Students will benefit from this interactive website because students will become familiar with the common mistakes such as mixing up the x and y axis on the graph as well as the point. Also it is engaging and will reach the pre-requisite needed to create a scatterplot.
