Students will travel to 18 stations around the room to perfect their skills using the distributive property, combining like terms and in some occasions both skills at one time. There are positive and negative integers and variables in theses problems that students must combine.

This Graphic Organizer allows students to follow step by step processes in becoming confident and organized in converting an equation from standard (ax+by=c) form into slope intercept form (y=mx+b). As they students become more confident they will use the graphic organizer less and less, but the steps are there as a reminder for low struggling learners.

Students are asked to find the slope, compare slopes, and graph lines in slope intercept form. I ask for the students to use the slope formula when given two points to find the slope for 4 questions, but that could be modified to say use a table, or a graph depending on your students. This is a 14 question quiz that should only take students about 30 minutes (depending on your students).
