• Students would be able to: identify and solve for slope a. on a graph b. from a table c. from an equation

Launch
Do Now:
• What do you know about the table and the graph of a function with the equation y=3x+2?
• What do the numbers 3 and 2 tell you about the table and graph values?

Climbing A Staircase
With a partner investigate the staircase in our school.
What is the height of the step
(in inches)?
What is the depth of each step

•Record the information you gathered from your investigation of the staircase.
X is the height
Y is the depth

Creating a Graph
Create a graph with the information from the table .
Be sure to have all the parts of the graph labeled and USE A RULER!

Creating An Equation
Use the information from the table and graph to create the linear equation:

Evaluations/Assessment Techniques
• Students will create a poster with:
– Table
– Graph
– Equation
– Computer generated table and graph
– Homework
– This poster will serve as the evaluation of the students’ understand and be grade an formal assessment.
