I have found a Dr. Seuss book that demonstrates the idea of linear equations. I started the lesson by reading the book to the students and creating linear equations to follow the storyline. Then we created our own, following a model I put together.
By downloading this file, you will get the Dr. Seuss book title, the lesson plan I followed, the notes I gave to the students, the examples I showed them, and a few examples that my own students made.
It took me a few months to find this book, but it demonstrates linear equations (using y=mx+b) perfectly! The students might be a bit shocked to find out they are about to read a children's story, but they will enjoy it. Who doesn't like being read to? :)

I currently teach Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Geometry to 7th and 8th graders in the Northern suburbs of Chicago. I have been teaching since 2004, and I have noticed that many of the units I'm looking for aren't already bundled in a nice package...so I made them myself! To help YOU, my fellow teachers, find the "bundles" I've been looking for! I have put much time into creating my supplemental materials and units. Through sharing and observation of my self-created lessons, colleagues have suggested that I find a way to share the materials I have created. I hope you find my materials helpful! PLEASE email me at: jkreiseder@yahoo.com if you have questions! If you have suggestions for my materials, please let me know. If I agree, I'll fix it and send you back an updated version.
