CCMath

Students will discover the rules associated with transformations by rotations of triangles and polygons on a coordinate grid (part of standard 8.G.3.) The activity is started off by using a cut-out manipulative to physically rotate the quadrant in which the shape is located. Students will record the transformed coordinates and write down any patterns that they notice from the original coordinates to the transformed coordinates. As a class, rules will be established. Students will then complete

Guide students to learn the various parts of the slope-intercept form equation. Students will then practice graphing lines.

Students will be given a linear equation in slope-intercept form. The students will complete the partially filled-in table and then graph their equation. There are four versions with an answer key AND blank template! I've used this as both a formative assessment and summative assessment in my Pre-algebra and Algebra 1 classes.

Students will practice converting between the three forms of linear functions: equations, tables, and graphs.
