Prerequisite Skills: This activity is intended to be used after students know how to graph with t-tables and count slope between two points on a graph. Objective: Students will be able to discover that when an equation is in y=mx+b (slope-intercept) form, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Directions: Hand each student in the class one graphing task (12 different tasks are included, allowing for differentiation). Allow students time to complete the task, then hang their graph up in t

Students work in groups to create graphs, tables, and equations from real-world situations. Each group creates a poster to represent one real-world situation in a given format that has to do with saving or spending money weekly. Students then visit each poster and interpret the rate of change and starting amount of money. This is a great hands-on way to review functions and make connections between functions in different forms and how rate of change and initial values have meaning in the real
