Description
This packet is designed to place in your, the teacher’s, hands, everything needed to teach students about the key concepts behind graphs. They will have undoubtedly seen graphs before and know some of the mechanical side. However, it is common the case that the conceptual foundation is lacking or missing. As a result, even students with high levels of proficiency learn a lot from this, which will promote future learning.
The most important mathematical idea to date in Algebra (for these students) combines the ideas that (1) a solution to a linear equation is an ordered pair, (2) the set of all solutions to a linear equations form a line (are co-linear), (3) a line is a picture of all solutions to a linear equation, (4) the reason we graph is because we can see relationships that would be impossible to articulate on a micro-scale.

When you download this bundle you’ll receive a zip folder with a Read Me document that organizes all of the documents within, making deploying the lessons easy. (You can see how this document looks from the picture posted below.) The folder also includes a high quality, well organized, a teacher’s companion that breaks down the key concepts and provides focus for your instruction, a high quality, PowerPoint, reference notes to assign for student reading or reference, one homework assignment, and links to internet hosted information aligned with this lesson for student or parent reference. There are two homework assignments. The online information includes videos, online notes, an activity with Desmos.com, and practice problems from Khan Academy. |
As is the case with all of the bundles and lessons from Math Connected, you can use the materials easily in a traditional lesson, a flipped classroom setting, or a virtual classroom. If you assign the notes to be read by the students, they’ll further develop their literacy and experience with technical writing. Either way, they’re a great reference for students.
All of the materials here are aligned in a way that you can support students of various abilities, while providing access to content for review or for absent students, and even parents that want to have access so they can “help,” their child perform well in class.
