Description
Challenge your students to work with graphing real world linear relationships in these three differentiated, engaging projects for 8th grade math or Algebra 1.
Each project requires students to...
- graph lines
- create tables of values
- write equations
- interpret graphs
- compare rates
- compare initial values.
The projects increase in difficulty by providing information in different formats, asking more in-depth questions, and allowing creativity. The last project also introduces students to systems.
Differentiation can be difficult and time-consuming, but the 3 versions make it simple! If you are working with linear functions and know your students have varying levels of understanding, these projects are a great solution. A guide is provided with a list of skills required for each project.
A scoring rubric and answer keys are provided too.

Common Core Standards:
8.F.A.2 Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions).
8.F.A.4 Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.
8.F.A.5 Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.
