Description
PLEASE NOTE: THE PREVIEW VERSION OF THIS PRODUCT IS THE ACTUAL "STUDENT VERSION" AND DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THE ANSWERS TO THE PROBLEMS. THE TEACHER VERSION INCLUDES DETAILED ANSWERS TO ALL OF THE PROBLEMS FOR THE PROJECT.
This project activity involves the calculation, graphing and coloring of the nine (9) linear functions studied in 7th and 8th Grade Math and Algebra 1/Math 1. I also review this topic in the beginning of my Algebra 2/Math 3 classes. This project is an informative and fun way to break the monotony of endless worksheets in your math class and review important aspects of linear functions/equations.
I have my students complete this very easy and straightforward project toward the end of the unit on Linear Functions/Equations. The calculations are very simple and involve the determination of 2 coordinate points by the students for each of nine (9) different, pre-determined linear functions/equations. Some of the functions/equations are in Slope Intercept Form and the others are in Standard Form. The project packet includes 2 full pages of information on the design and graphing characteristics of linear functions/equations in both Slope Intercept Form and Standard Form.
Once the students select/determine the 2 coordinate points for each line, they list them in X-Y Coordinate Table. The points are then used to graph each line on the furnished graph grid.
Once the 9 lines are accurately and neatly drawn, the final activity involves coloring the various sections formed by the intersecting lines from each of the plotted lines on the graph grid. This results an interesting "stained glass effect" for the final product.
This activity can be completed by students working individually; but, I find it is best to have it completed by pairs of students if possible. This will insure that it can be completed in a more timely manner, i.e., during one 90-minute class period. If the final coloring activity cannot be completed during class, it can be assigned as homework.
There are 16 total pages in the package between the teacher and student versions. The native MS Word file is included in the event the teacher desires to make any modifications to the activity to suit her or his classroom purposes.
Other MS PPT products for 6th Grade, 7th Grade, 8th Grade, Math 1, Math 2, Math 3, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry and PreCalculus curriculum topics can be reviewed and purchased under my TpT page titled: "Priceless Math".
