These 12 story problem task cards can be used when working with linear equations, specifically in slope intercept form. Students will identify the variables, create an input output table, graph the line, write an equation, and solve the problem. Allow students to use the accompanying recording sheets or simply display the instructions page on your overhead projector. Problems #1-6 are standard practice problems for slope-intercept form. These problems are suitable for all learners. Problems #7

Understanding direct variation can be difficult. We generally define direct variations as linear equations that pass through zero. But we forget to emphasize that direct variations represent proportional relationships! Use these 15 task cards to solve story problems using proportional reasoning, direct variations, or both!. Encouraging both methods reinforces the relationship between proportions and linear equations and emphasizes that problem solving can be achieved using a variety of metho

Understanding direct variation can be difficult. We generally define direct variations as linear equations that passes through zero. But we forget to emphasize that direct variations because they represent proportional relationships! In this notes sheet, students will solve a story problem using proportional reasoning and then solve the problem using the direct variation method. This process demonstrates the relationship between proportions and linear equations and emphasizes that problem so

Evaluate Expressions Stations Maze and Task Cards Students will practice evaluating expressions with this fun task card activity. This product comes with 18 task cards. Simply print one color copy of the expression cards and place around the room. Print or project the egg color legend so students know what value to plug in for c. Students will evaluate the expression, showing their work on notebook paper. The answers will lead them to the next task card. This activity is easily corrected
