Skills covered:Review similar trianglesUse similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a line on a coordinate planecome up w the equation y = mx for a line through the origin (direct variation)come up with the equation y = mx + b for linear but not a direct variationThis PowerPoint….walks students through slope being the same between 2 points (3 examples)leads students to find the equations for direct variation (3 examples) and linear but not direc

Students understand best when they discover formulas on their own, right? As students work through these stations, they will discover the formula for slope without even realizing it. The objective at all stations is to write rules or directions to teach someone where the values in the ordered pairs go in the fraction to determine the slope.When you come back together for a group discussion, possibly in Socratic Seminar format, challenge students to find common names for the points.If needed, gui

Teaching exponents with different bases can be tough! SO if you're looking for an interactive lesson that walks students through the difference between negative bases with and without parenthesis-You found it! How this lesson is set up:Vocabulary and positive bases are briefly reviewed. The difference between negative bases with and without parenthesis is demonstrated. As students are directed to answer problems in their notebooks, they are then directed to check their answers by clicking again

This 4 page packet is a great way to introduce systems of equations and solving them through graphing. Skills covered:Writing equations from real life situationsGraphing systems of equationsAnalyzing graphs of systems of equationsHow this packet is set up:The warm-up has 3 word problems requiring students t

This game can be used virtually whether your students are in your classroom or somewhere else! The directions given on the slideshow are: USE THIS IN THIS MODE. Do not “present” it, or you will not be able to drag the game pieces. Drag each square to pair up the equivalent expressions. The colors do not indicate pairs. When you are done, scroll to the next slide to check your answers with the answer key.  I recommend you "force a copy" when you give students the link. This way when they finish t
