Great pre-calculus rich task idea that develops mathematical reasoning. Students watch a video showing Mario failing to jump from one cliff to another across a chasm. This begins the exploratory lesson in graphing. Comes with detailed notes about how to conduct lesson and what to expect from students. Has supporting worksheet which you may need to join scribd website to obtain.
