Problems to get students familiar with the connections between Linear equations, tables, and graphs. Students are given a linear equation in the form y = mx + b They are asked to fill out a table for given values of x. They then have to find the slope and y-intercept. Finally they plot the points and the line they form. There are also real life scenarios given such as a pool filling up with water according to an equation. **This was designed for a remedial math class

Simple problems to get students comfortable with the concepts of Common Difference and Initial Value. Students must fill out a table of values and identify the common difference and initial value. The difficulty ramps up slightly as students work through the problems so they have to adjust their thinking when faced with new situations. Also contains real life scenarios where common difference and initial value apply. Ex: Starting with $100 and saving $20 every week. **This was originally desi
