Intercepts

This packet is designed to place in your, the teacher’s, hands, everything needed to teach students about intercepts.  The application here is linear equations.  Students will learn about the unique features of intercepts as they apply to linear equations, but they will also develop a conceptual understanding about all intercepts.  The intercepts are key features of all graphs.  As such, this is a key concept and skill for students.  This lesson helps students to understand why they plug in zero values to find the intercepts.  This helps them apply that understanding to other concepts and promotes retention of the procedure.

Students will:

1.    Learn why x = 0 for all y – intercepts

2.    Learn why y = 0 for all x – intercepts

3.    Learn to find intercepts

4.    Learn the cases of linear equations that do not have two intercepts

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.
