Math I:  Corralling the Sheep - Exploring Linear Equations
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Students are given 4-5 coordinate points, that will represent the sheep.  First, they are tasked with creating a fence around the sheep. The students will use the endpoints of each piece of fence to compute the slope, y-intercept, domain and equation of the line. They will then code the rover to draw their lines. Finally, the students can calculate the area/perimeter of their fence and calculate the cost to build the fence. The students will then be challenged to minimize the area, perimeter and cost of building their corral, recalculate the equations of their lines, stating their new slope, y-intercept, and domain.
