Abstract
(type = summary)
This video comes from a 6th grade class session in which the researcher, Robert B. Davis, introduces algebraic equations with two variables, using a square “box” and a “triangle” as symbols to represent the variables. The objective of the activity is to create a “rule” for each problem on the worksheet, where the rule is the equation for a truth set presented in table form with "box" column as input values and "triangle" column as output values. Tables for problems 3 and 4 appear below. In this clip, the Romina and Brian work as partners. At this point they have moved to problem 3 on their worksheets and express to the researcher that they are progressing well. When comparing rules for problem number three, however, Romina says that she thinks “it” (the y-intercept) is 1. When Brian challenges her conjecture, she works to convince Brian. For the next problem, Romina asserts that the slope for the new linear function rule is “ten.” Romina soon leans over and corrects the rule Brian is writing on his paper. She explains her method for identifying the y-intercept for the function rule: “All you have to do, Brian, is take the first number and add it.” Brian then asks her if the rest of the rule is “blank times four” or “times seven.” Romina describes that she finds the slope by looking for “whatever is between seven and seventeen” – two of the entries in the triangle column. Then Brian writes the correct rule for problem number four as a linear function with a slope of ten and y-intercept seven.
