Parabolas! puh-RA-bo-la
These are another type of graph that describes things that curve--for example, the path of anything in flight.

Graphing Stories Pt. III
Water Line Graphs
The graphs you'll try and create today are slightly more complicated than the Carnival graphs you made last week. If you want to look back at your Carnival graphs, you can go back to that link from that post.
Do you remember what happened to your distance vs time graph of the bumper car when it crashed?
Why did that happen?

Graphing Stories
On Friday, you made graphs of situations related to a carnival. Think about the Cannon Man video.
What were you measuring about Cannon Man? (Hint: what was the independent variable, and what was the dependent variable?)
Today, you'll get more practice graphing stories that are NOT proportional. Also, these are trickier.

Function Carnival
This year, in 7th grade, we talked a lot about proportional relationships and constant of proportionality.
Next year, in 8th grade, you'll learn about other types of relationships that, when you graph them, are NOT straight lines and DO NOT pass through the origin and DO NOT increase or decrease at a constant rate.
What types of patterns do you know of in your life or in the world that do not have a constant increase?

Nominations for Mathematician of the Year
From "What makes a Mathematician:"
-Mathematicians are people of all ages and from all over the world who enjoy the challenge of a problem, who see the beauty in a pattern, a shape, a proof, a concept.
-Mathematicians are able to communicate complicated math ideas to those who do not yet understand.
Who in your class do you think exhibits these qualities? Nominate one person who you think deserves to be your class's mathematician of the year.
