Linear Equations Functions Pumpkin Patterns Halloween Fall Activity

Description

This Fall/ Halloween activity is a fun way for students to relate visual patterns to linear functions and write linear equations in multiple representations.

There are 5 different sequences of pumpkins. Students are asked to:

complete a table
give the rate of change & initial value
graph the linear function
write the equation

*You can choose whether to ask students to identify either the rate of change and initial value or the slope and y-intercept.

There is room for students to draw what "step 0" would look like and students can circle or shade the pumpkins that represent the rate of change and slope in the pattern.

Students can use pumpkin candy as manipulatives as they look for the changes in the patterns.

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).

CCSS8.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.

CCSS8.F.A.2

Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.

CCSS8.F.A.3

Interpret the equation 𝘺 = 𝘮𝘹 + 𝘣 as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function 𝘈 = 𝑠² giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight line.
