This bundle includes a multitude of resources along with a pacing guide for a week of Sequences of Transformations. The materials are diverse and flexible. A pacing guide is included as an implementation suggestion. Enjoy!
This is an inquiry based lesson where students work together to discover which equations are linear versus non-linear. Students are given 6 equations where they graph and make a table. Afterwords, a list of linear and nonlinear equations are made, and a place to record their thoughts as well as their classmates thoughts is listed as well. After the concept is understood and stamped, students are able to practice identifying linear equations. I have used this as partner practice, group work, as w
This is an engaging resource that provides kids practice identifying slope and y-intercept from a graph, then writing the y = mx + b equation. The problems are of varying complexity, and are aligned to what students typically see on standardized tests.
