Students must be able to identify the y-intercept and slope from a given equation in order to graph accurately. Students need to understand the concept of rise over run, so that they can differentiate between positive and negative slope. As with positive I move up, and with negative I move down. Usually takes students about 45 minutes to complete.
I use this activity as a "get to know you" during the first week of school in 8th grade. But, it is also a great activity to use when you first introduce graphing points on all four quadrants. All students need to do is graph the points of all true statements about them, connect the points as they go, and shade in their final shape with their favorite color. Please read a review if you enjoyed the activity!
A cute and fun syllabus that will get the attention of both your students and their parents. Syllabus includes course description, contact info, materials, class room policies and procedures, and a section for BYOD suggestions. If you have an Instagram, Facebook, or online website for your class and would like to post pictures of your students this syllabus is right for you! It includes a photography permission slip that you can keep for your records. Hope you enjoy and please don't forget to ra
**Please leave review for this free product. Graphing lines in slope intercept form. Have students graph all given lines. Each line will intersect exactly one monster. At the end the last monster standing is the monster of the month. Hope you enjoy!
**Please leave a review of this free product. This is meant to be a quick check for understanding activity that can be done after notes or as homework. You can extend the activity by having students explain why a statement is false.
Transformational geometry: translation, reflection, rotation. Students get to practice transformation on the coordinate grid. Its a cute and easy worksheet students can work on during valentines day. I allow my students the use of patty paper to make it hands on. Print suggestion, select print multiple pages so that the graph is smaller and the patty paper cover its. I usually print 2 graphs per page and it works perfectly
BACK TO SCHOOL ACTIVITY. RATHER THAN HAVING THEM FILL OUT THE USUAL FAVORITE COLOR, BOOK, MOVIE ETC. HAVE STUDENTS MAKE AN INSTAGRAM PROFILE WHERE THEY TELL YOU WITH PICTURES AND HASHTAGS WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT THEM. THIS IS A GOOD ALTERNATIVE TO USE WITH MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.
**Please leave a review of this free product. This product was created as a result of students not bothering to read and identify key terms during assignments/test. Both worksheets represent transformations on the coordinate plane and students are asked to analyze what is happening in order to fix the error. What is great about these worksheets is that it forces students to slow down and think about how each transformation changes or not changes an image. Students should have a basic understandi
**Please leave a review of this free product. This activity provides students with the opportunity to self-check their work. Students work in pairs. One student solves Form A, and the other Form B. Although their systems are different, their answers will be the same. This allows students to collaborate, analyze and teach each other by having them trade papers when their answers don't match.
These are meant to be a quick introduction to budgeting. Once I introduce budgeting, I following it with TEKS 8.12G which focused on calculation the cost of college tuition
