Campus: ** West Allis Hale High School ** || State Standards [] |||| Subject Specific: // Technology Specific //// : // [] || |||| ** To be able to identify what a, h, and k represents in an absolute value equation written in standard form ** || || |||| ** Students will be assessed on how clearly and correctly their audio recording explains what a, h, and k represent in a standard absolute value equation. Also, they will be evaluated on whether they correctly identify the vertex, whether the graph opens up or down, and the rate of increase and decrease of the two equations above. ** || ||

 * Stated Objective(s)
 * To be able to graph an absolute value equation in standard form **
 * To be able to identify the vertex, whether the graph opens up or down, and the rate of increase and decrease for an absolute value equation **
 * To be able to work effectively in a collaborative learning group **
 * To be able to create an effective oral presentation that correctly explains what a, h, and k represents in an absolute value equation written in standard form **
 * To be able to use audio recording software (Audacity) to create an audio file **
 * To be able to use an iPod Touch, especially the graphing calculator application **
 * Procedures for Lesson |||| ** After completing a quick review about absolute value, in a group of 2 or 3, students will complete a guided investigation on graphs of absolute value equations in standard form. Students will be using the graphing calculator application on an iPod Touch to complete the investigation and must figure out what a, h, and k represent in a standard absolute value equation . After completing the investigation, each group will produce an audio recording, using Audacity, in which they will explain what a, h and k represent in an absolute value equation. Also, on their audio recording, each group must identify the vertex, whether the graph opens up or down, and the rate of increase and decrease for the two equations below. **
