Description
PURPOSE:
This activity represents a few challenges students can be given to push their understanding of how the coordinate plane works and how the equations we write can manipulate the lines graphed upon that plane. They will explore the importance of slope, how that can affect perpendicular and parallel lines, and what is required to draw a line through a specific point. This can be a great intro to a further discussion on point-slope and slope-intercept form.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
This product contains:
✏️ Instructions for implementation
✏️ 1-page of exploration
✏️ Suggestions for best practices of instruction
✏️ An assignable Easel activity
STORY:
After my students got a basic understanding of how the coordinate plane works, memorized vocabulary like origin and quadrant, and leaned what a y = x + 1 graph looked like, they were hungry for more. Then this activity was born to challenge them and give them more exposure to graphs. Challenge your students to push their understanding of how equations work and start some good algebra classroom discussions before they even hit their first algebra course.
POSSIBLE EXTENSIONS:
Continue your student’s exploration of how words, equations, tables and graphs are related with my Fantastic Four of Algebra | Math Exploration product.
MATERIALS/PRE-REQS:
Besides this file, you may require:
✏️ iPads or Computers with internet accessability
