Linear Equation Of The Day

I ran across this moving painting I took end schoolhouse twelvemonth of a practise routine I tried to implement inwards my Algebra 1 classes.  Last year, I made it my goal to complete linear equations earlier Christmas Break.  After Christmas Break, students came dorsum as well as acted similar they remembered goose egg nearly linear equations.  It was non a pretty sight.  At this point, nosotros had however non covered graphing as well as solving systems of equations.  I knew they however knew how to graph linear equations; they were only out of practice.  So, I decided I would forcefulness them to larn dorsum inwards practise yesteryear introducing the "Linear Equation of the Day."

Each day, subsequently bellwork, I would projection something similar this on the board:

Linear Equation of the Day

Students would convey 2-3 minutes to fill upwards out every bit much data every bit possible.  I would telephone telephone for volunteers who would come upwards up to the board as well as fill upwards inwards 1 slice of information.  As each blank was filled in, students would critique the work.

This year, I started pedagogy linear equations correct subsequently Christmas break, as well as that seemed to operate much better.  We covered exponent rules, factoring, polynomials, as well as all that fun materials earlier Christmas interruption instead of trying to check it inwards at the destination of the year.
