" Rewrite Linear Equations Into Slope-Intercept Form and Standard Form Placemat Activities - Algebra 1 - Digital - Distance Learning "

DIGITAL AND PRINT: Two placemat activities include practice rewriting linear equations into slope-intercept form & into standard form.

With a partner, students solve all four equations on the placemat. After both students agree on the answers or solutions for all problems on the page, they then add the answers together to find the “Sum”. The teacher easily and quickly checks the “Sum” to evaluate the students’ understanding which allows the students to know if they made a mistake.

***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: Use functions to model relationships between quantities.

8.F.B.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.

CCSS: Create equations that describe numbers or relationships.

HSA.CED.A.4 Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations.

CCSS: Interpret the structure of expressions.

HSA.SSE.A.1a Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients.

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).

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.

VA SOL: Functions

F.A.7.f The student will investigate and analyze linear and quadratic function families and their characteristics both algebraically and graphically, including connections between and among multiple representations of functions using verbal descriptions, tables, equations, and graphs.

Teacher Setup

Print several copies of the placemat on one color of paper and slide them into plastic page protectors. The students can use dry erase markers on the plastic and easily wipe off their work when finished. Sometimes I print two different placemats with similar topics, each on their own color of paper, and put them back-to-back into the plastic page protectors.

This activity works well at the beginning of a lesson when students are actively learning a new skill and can also be used as a review.

The instructions are clearly marked on the students’ page and the answer key is included.

Included in the package:

Two placemats activities, each with four problems and space to write the “Sum” of the solutions.

-Find Slope Given Two Points

-Write Equations Given Two Points
