Problems in Mathematical Terms


Description

Students determine whether or not the equation is solved for the second variable in terms of the first variable or vice versa. They then use this information to determine which variable is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable.

Students create a table by placing the independent variable in the first row or column and the dependent variable in the second row or column. They compute entries in the table by choosing arbitrary values for the independent variable (no constraints) and then determine what the dependent variable must be.
