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…

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

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.

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

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 mean, write it in Spanish?" I thought I had done just a great job on the linear functions unit, but I had totally missed connecting the idea of translations for them. I had always waited until quadratic functions to talk about shifts in the parent function as transformations, but when I looked into the standards I realized I was missing a key part of…

Directly proportional relationships make a linear graph that passes through the origin. Divide y by x to find the constant of variation.

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 […]
