Linear relationships

My students love doing My Poster Activities in my math classes. I like the poster activities to be self paced, so I usually create the My Poster Activities in Showbie or Socrative. This allows my students to work through the activity at their own pace and allows me to help answer questions and clear up misconceptions throughout the activity. Here are a few of the "Poster Activities" that we have done this year in my 8th Grade Math Classes. Linear Relationships: Proportional and…

Developer/Creator/Publisher of the Resource: Noelle Pickering The infographic on the page is a great way to showcase the four ways to represent a proportional relationship, the author refers to it as an anchor chart. I would post this in the room while we worked on this unit. A lot of students are visual learners, so this would help them out greatly.

I created this finding slope and intercepts foldable for my Algebra 1 students to glue in their interactive notebooks.

Formula sheet or reference sheet for linear functions or linear relationships, distance, midpoint, gradient, equation of lines

The cornerstone of 8th grade math is learning about slope and y-intercept. Basically, it’s all things functions for the majority of 8th grade. What I realized a few years ago is that comparing functions is a multi-faceted beast. It seems simple at first, just find the slope on both functions and compare. Then, I realized […]

I will never forget one of my students telling me after a district exam, "One of the questions asked me to translate a line - what does that...

Types of Lines While parallel and perpendicular lines will be the primary focus of this chapter, there are other types of lines. Use the Types of Lines Foldable to distinguish between them. Types

Today's Algebra 1 lesson left me with an overwhelming feeling of teacher bliss. The goal for the day was to determine if a function is linear or non-linear based on a table or graph. We had already
