"Graph Linear Equations in Point-Slope Form Problem Pass Activity - Algebra 1 - Digital - Distance Learning"

DIGITAL AND PRINT: Twelve rounds provide practice or review graphing linear equations in point-slope form. Includes identifying the point, the slope, and whether the graph is increasing, decreasing or neither.

Students work with a partner while seated at their desks. They should write in their own notebook or on the blank Answer Sheet (included).

At the same time the first pair of students is working on Problem 1, the second pair works on Problem 2, the third pair works on Problem 3, etc. At the teacher’s signal, all students pass their problem in a specific direction. The students who started with Problem 2 should now pass it to the students who started with Problem 1, the students who started with Problem 3 pass it to the students who started with Problem 2, etc. The first pair of students starting with Problem 1 should deliver their finished problem to the last pair of students, or the teacher may prefer to deliver these each time. Students now flip over their new page to find the ANSWER to the problem they just finished.

Students continue to work problems in order, pass problems and check their answers on the back of the next problem page until they have completed all problems included in the activity.

It is important for the teacher to tell the entire class when to pass their first problem and to tell everyone where to look for the first answer on the back of their NEXT problem. After this first pass together, I’ve allowed students to work and pass problems at their own pace. Teachers may prefer to set a timer so all students pass their current problem to the next pair of students simultaneously.

This activity works well in the middle of a lesson while students are actively practicing a new skill or can be used as a review.

The answer key is built into the activity so students check for accuracy themselves.

***DIGITAL COMPATIBLE: Through Easel Activities, this product contains an INTERACTIVE PDF. Text boxes and instructions for online use are already included. You will be able to further annotate and customize it for your digital learning needs. Underlying content is not editable. Your students will complete the digital PDF and submit it to you for review via Google Classroom or other LMS.

CCSS: Define, evaluate, and compare functions.

8.F.A.1 Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output.

CCSS: Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context.

HSF.IF.B4 For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship.

CCSS: Analyze functions using different representations.

HSF.IF.C.7 Graph functions expressed symbolically and show key features of the graph, by hand in simple cases and using technology for more complicated cases.

HSF.IF.C.7a Graph linear and quadratic functions and show intercepts, maxima, and minima.

CCSS: Interpret the structure of expressions.

HSA.SSE.A.1.B Interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more of their parts as a single entity.

TEKS Linear functions, equations and inequalities

A1.3.A Linear functions, equations, and inequalities. The student applies the mathematical process standards when using graphs of linear functions, key features, and related transformations to represent in multiple ways and solve, with and without technology, equations, inequalities, and systems of equations. The student is expected to: determine the slope of a line given a table of values, a graph, two points on the line, and an equation written in various forms, including y = mx + b, Ax + By = C, and y - y1 = m(x - x1).

A1.3.C Linear functions, equations, and inequalities. The student applies the mathematical process standards when using graphs of linear functions, key features, and related transformations to represent in multiple ways and solve, with and without technology, equations, inequalities, and systems of equations. The student is expected to: graph linear functions on the coordinate plane and identify key features, including x-intercept, y-intercept, zeros, and slope, in mathematical and real-world problems.

VA SOL Equations and Inequalities

EI.A.6.a The student will determine the slope of a line when given an equation of the line, the graph of the line, or two points on the line.

EI.A.6.c The student will graph linear equations in two variables.

Teacher Setup:

Print single-sided copies and slide pages into plastic page protectors to keep problems and answers together. Put Problem 1 and ANSWER Problem 12 back-to-back in the same plastic page protector; put Problem 2 and ANSWER Problem 1 back-to-back in another plastic page protector, Problem 3 and ANSWER Problem 2 together, etc. Prepare 2 or more complete sets of the activity to have enough pages for each pair of students in the class. Keep complete sets in order.

It is very important to hand out problems in numerical order so the page with the answer on the back follows its problem number. As you hand out problems in order, problem side up, tell each pair of students the direction they should pass their problem when finished. This direction may vary by row if you zig-zag or “snake” up and down the rows of desks. The first pair of students starting with Problem 1 should deliver their finished problems to the last pair of students, or you may prefer to deliver these each time.

(Optional) Print enough copies of the blank Answer Sheet for each student to use as they work the problems. Another option is for students to write in their own notebooks.

Included in the package:

• Twelve “Problem Pass” pages

• Answer pages for students to self-check

• Blank answer sheet for students (optional)

• Answer Key for Teacher
