Linear functions notes

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…

We jumped into linear functions this week. Here are some of the things we did (and by some I mean pretty much my entire week of lessons). ...

Are you looking for some fun linear equations activities and teaching ideas? This post is chock full of ideas for stations, centers, review activities and independent work for linear equations. Includes links to games, math pennants, foldables for algebra interactive notebooks, an algebra 1 word wall, a puzzle, a hands-on algebra project, and a free pdf printable template that works great as a warm up or closer in an algebra classroom.

These Linear Reference Sheets are perfect to use when teaching Linear Functions in 8th Grade Math or Middle School. It includes slope, slope-intercept form, point-slope form, standard form, HOY VUX, x-intercepts and y-intercepts. #linearfunctions #algebrareferencesheets

Forms of linear equations

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…
