social network lesson
Name: Kristin Manna Title: Linear Functions
Introduction: Students will use social networking sites to explore and organize real-world examples of linear functions.
Content: Algebra 1
Objectives
Common Core Standards
Relative Advantage: By using social networking sites that students are accustomed to using they will be able to interact with the content at a deeper level.
Timeline: 2-3 weeks
Materials: Device for social networking sites (smart phone, table, laptop, etc)
Learning Activities:
Students will focus on their knowledge of linear functions. Students will use Twitter throughout the unit to microblog through their learning. The other social media platforms will act as a culminating activity and showcase of student learning.
1. Twitter - Students will be responsible for posing and answering question through twitter to track learning.
2. Instagram - Students will take picture/video of scenarios that model linear functions.
3. Pinterest - Students will create a Pinterest board to organize resource to help with learning and studying linear functions.

Content: Algebra 1
Objectives
- Students will find example of linear functions in real life
- Students will analyze resources that are useful in learning and review of linear functions.
- Students will explain linear using concise mathematical language.
Common Core Standards
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSF.LE.A.1- Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSF.LE.A.1.A - Prove that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals, and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals.
- CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSF.LE.A.1.B - Recognize situations in which one quantity changes at a constant rate per unit interval relative to another.
- CSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSF.LE.B.5
Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context.

Assessment: Students will be assessed through their comments and discussion on Twitter using a rubric to mark quality of tweet, responses, use of hashtags, and reflections. Students will be assessed on the examples and explanations that students provide or each picture and pin on Instagram and Pinterest.
