Linear Graphs Interactive Notebook Pages

It's Christmas Break! My Algebra 1 students are nigh done amongst our unit of measurement on Linear Graphs together with Inequalities. We've gone through all but the terminal 2 skills which are the "Inequalities" purpose of "Linear Graphs together with Inequalities." I idea I would accept wages of this fourth dimension on intermission to part all the notebook pages nosotros take away maintain done then far for linear graphing. Once we've done the pages for inequalities, I volition part them inwards a subsequently post!

Our unit of measurement started out amongst a divider:

The backside of the divider has our vi SBG skills for the unit.

Here's a close-up of my skills list:

Notes on finding gradient together with intercepts:

This is the start twelvemonth I haven't shown "The Adventures of Slope Dude" inwards class. I didn't take away maintain a working projector/SMARTBoard for nigh 2 months, then this affected a lot of how I did things inwards my classroom. The bulk of my kids had already seen the video inwards their middle schoolhouse math class.

Examples:

My students did NOT desire to do algebra to solve for the non-integer x-intercepts! Instead, they exactly wanted to estimate. I guess it didn't assist that the examples I picked crossed half-way betwixt 2 integers, then their estimates ever ended upwardly beingness correct. Next time, I volition brand an equation that crosses at something similar 1.2.

Up next: interpreting gradient together with intercepts

Types of Lines (Parallel/Perpendicular/Neither) Foldable:

Full disclosure: nosotros spent an entire shape catamenia playing amongst making parallel together with perpendicular lines on our coordinate bird geoboards BEFORE nosotros did this foldable. So, my students discovered relationships betwixt the gradient together with y-intercept of these types of lines instead of me exactly telling them. In the past, I've been guilty of exactly telling my students things. This year, I'm trying to do a amend task of helping them to discovery these things.

Parallel/Perpendicular/Neither Practice

Things I desire to alter amongst this file inwards the future:
1. Give them nastier equations to rearrange.
2. Pre-type parallel/perpendicular/neither then they tin exactly circle the right word.

Forms of Linear Equations (Slope-Intercept, Point-Slope, Standard) Foldable:

I dearest the circles I gave students to demo where values should live plugged into each form. Every year, I take away maintain students who endeavour to plug inwards values for x together with y inwards the equation, too.

I loved the circles then much, that I incorporated them into my side past times side graphic organizer, too. That turned out to live a error that I demand to cook earlier educational activity this again!

I designed this graphic organizer where I could type inwards approximately of the information, together with students would take away maintain to abide by ALL of the other information.

For example, students mightiness live given a graph.

Or the gradient together with a point.

Or the gradient together with an intercept.

Or a table.

We worked together to figure out what nosotros had plenty data for at whatsoever indicate inwards time.

As you lot tin see, I had existent problem trying to represent my fractional gradient inwards that tiny circle I gave myself. Next year, I intend I'll type blanks ____ instead of circles. They were exactly TOO pocket-size to write in!

Some of the problems required to a greater extent than locomote than others, particularly to rearrange equations from i shape to another. We did this on the dorsum of each card.

Another affair I'm proud of is the fact that I required my students to write a parallel together with perpendicular line. I intend a big work I've had inwards the past times amongst educational activity parallel together with perpendicular lines is that nosotros did them for a hateful solar daytime or 2 together with that was it. This year, I'm trying to comprise them throughout the unit. This is leading to a much deeper together with lasting understanding!

This side past times side foldable was created past times my husband! I wasn't feeling well, together with he didn't take away maintain whatsoever locomote to do for schoolhouse the side past times side day. So, he then kindly offered to do a foldable for me then I could rest. I actually do take away maintain the best husband!

We also did a fleck of exercise examining equations to run across how the gradient together with y-intercepts changed.
