Focus on Math

Common Core Learning Standard: 8.EE.7 Students will be able to determine if an expression is linear or non-linear by writing the expression as an equation, creating a table, and graphing the equation. If the points form a line, it is linear. If the points do not form a line, it is non-linear. Students will look for similarities and differences between the expressions (or equations) to determine how to determine whether it is linear or non-linear without needing to create a table or graph. Th

This lesson compares the solution (also called roots or zeros) in an equation (solving algebraically) and in a graph/table. The first page should be done together as a class. The second page can be started together and students can pair up to finish.

Do you need CLEAR graphs for students to find the slope? Do you need lots of practice questions? This is the answer!
