Matchsticks
Recording matchstick patterns leads to linear functions. (Contains video tutorial)
Publisher: Texas Instruments UK
Editor: Barrie Galpin
Author: Nevil Hopley
Topic: Mathematics
Students explore patterns made up of matchsticks, enter their results in a spreadsheet and see a scatterplot being produced. They are then able to explore the relationships graphically, moving a line around the screen until it fits the scatterplot.
Students are encouraged to use notes pages to record their findings.
