Basic Guided Notes

Students can practice their knowledge of linear equations and apply it to the real world by creating equations to represent how long it would take them to be able to afford certain items based on the job which they work. Students learn life lessons (like going to college will set you back 50,000) as well as that jobs where one attend college end up paying more in the long run. Students use their knowledge to project income. Can be scaffolded up or down based on student need.

*****I wanted to keep this a doc so people could edit it themselves but the pages look weird in the preview. The margins are narrow and the numbers like this (1) signify the top of a page*********** My 7th and 8th graders completed this assignment at the end of the year. The project has enough examples and work for students to mostly work independently for 2 weeks or more. Students review percents, exponents, order of operations, simplifying expressions, building equations, linear equations, Pyt

This is a great "reteaching" lesson for multiple step equations. Students practice those skills and are pushed in rigor by applying their skills to basic perimeter and area problems including a satisfying challenge problem

Visual representational focus on parallel lines encouraging students to graph and compare various parallel lines. Must have pre-requisite knowledge; how to find the equation of a line given a slope and a point.

Guided Notes introducing perpendicular lines. Students must have pre-requisite knowledge of finding the equation of a line given a point and a slope.
