Weekly Overview:

Unit Description: Unit 2: Linear Relations

Essential Questions:How can I tell if a relationship is linear?  Why would I want to know? - What kinds of real life situations can be modeled by linear relationships? - Which format for representing a linear relationship is most appropriate for a given situation? - Why is it important to be able to express relationships as equations?  What information is needed in order to write these equations? - How do changes in equations lead to changes in graphs?

Resources/Materials: ELMO, projector, laptop, powerpoint, guaranteed curriculum, graphing calculators, worksheets, rulers, eggspert, test

Standards/Benchmarks/GLEs: 9, 11, 13, 21, 23, 25, 28, 29, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40

Objectives:

TSW compete in a relay race activity with writing equations in point-slope form

TSW create foldables that will help them study for exams and tests

TSW discover that there in more than one way to write an equation of a line

TSW write an equation of a line given 2 points

TSW write an equation of a line given two points and apply it to real life situations

TSW match the 3 types of linear equations to a picture of a graph

TSW write an equation of a line given two points and apply it to real life situations

TSW match the 3 types of linear equations to a picture of a graph

Student Learning Activities:

Relay Race Activity – students will compete in a race to answer point-slope equations in groups – winners get bonus points

Foldables – study guide folder and types of lines foldable

Launch: 4.4. Warm up – two different ways to write an equation of a line

Activity – writing equations from 2 points

Review HW

Activity – Practice with writing equations from 2 points – students will work in groups

Review HW

Activity – Graphs and Equations activity – students will work in groups to find 3 types of equations of lines for 1 graph

Quiz on writing equations of lines given 2 points
