=A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words - Image Concept Grid=

Many people are what we call “visual learners” and sometimes pictures trigger different mental images that can help your brain make connections between concepts you already know and ones you don’t understand yet. Sometimes seeing a picture that represents a concept helps your brain understand the concept in a different way than if you would read about it or listen to someone else explain it. This activity is all about pictures and making those connections.

Your job is to do a Google “Image Search” for pictures that represent math terms and/or concepts. Begin by choosing a term or concept with which you are somewhat familiar and is a major topic that was discussed in your class this year. You may use terms from the //Independent Assignment #1// or from the appropriate list of topics in the link at the bottom of this page.

INSTRUCTIONS:


 * 1) Type the word or words into the Google search bar and then choose “Images.”
 * 2) Look through the images and choose two that make some sort of sense to you and two that seem like they are connected to the topic in a mathematical way but you’re not sure exactly how. Choose images that make you think differently about the concept and write a sentence or two about what thoughts you have after seeing the image. Refrain from choosing images that are extremely similar to one another.
 * 3) Right-click the images and choose “Copy” and then save them to the Word document below.
 * 4) Use a different Word Document for each term/concept and name the document the same name as the term/concept.
 * 5) You are required to do __//at least three//__ of these image concept grids befor, but you may do more if you like or if you have finished all the other independent assignments but still need to log more time.
 * 6) If you have questions, please email sbender@muasd.org.

For example, if you search “Systems of Linear Equations" you might have a document titled, "Google Image Search for SYSTEMS OF LINEAR EQUATIONS," and it might look like this:



Below is a link to a list of all the topics assessed on the Algebra I Keystone Exam. To get started, choose three topics from this list to search. Then choose four images from that image search to save and insert into the provided Word document.
