This is an introductory lesson to teach students how to write large numbers in scientific notation. The values used are found by measuring the centimeter distance between pairs of cities from around the world using Google Earth's ruler tool.
This lesson is designed to introduce students to the idea of functions composed of two operations, with specific attention to linear functions and their representations as rules and data tables, including the mathematical notions of independent and dependent variables. Includes input/output table activity.
Students will investigate the input/output model for building function tables. Then they will connect tables, graphs, function rules, and equations in one variable. Finally, they will work backwards to determine function rules for given data sets or graphs.

Participants review carefully the Pythagorean theorem, prove it
geometrically and algebraically, and use it to solve real-world problems.
Participants focus on the connection between the Pythagorean theorem
and the distance formula, and use the distance formula to calculate
distances between points on a square grid and in a coordinate plane.
Play Plinko and develop your knowledge of statistics. Drops balls through a triangular grid of pegs and see the balls random walk through the lattice. Watch the histogram of final positions build up and approach the binomial distribution.
