Visualizing Positive and Negative Slopes with . . . Licorice and Cups!

We revisited our data from the "Stacking Cups" activity we started earlier in the week, and recognized patterns in each of the sets of data. Students then realized that deriving the formula for the nth term is relatively simple.

We collected more data from ingesting a piece of licorice, one bite at a time. Hopefully, students will be able to write a formula to describe the rate of change related to eating the licorice.
