Title: Barbie Bungee
Url: https://www.nctm.org/Classroom-Resources/Illuminations/Lessons/Barbie-...
Creator: Zordak, Samuel E.
Publisher: Illuminations: Resources for Teaching Mathematics
Description: Barbie Bungee: The consideration of cord length is very important in a bungee jump- too short, and the jumper doesn't get much of a thrill; too long, and ouch! In this lesson, students model a bungee jump using a Barbie® doll and rubber bands. The distance to which the doll will fall is directly proportional to the number of rubber bands, so this context is used to examine linear functions.
