Objective: SWBAT graph linear functions from standard form and slope intercept form.
Activities: Warm Up: Graph linear functions from standard form.
Notes: Go over how to solve the linear equation from standard form (AX + BY = C) to
y = mx + b slope-intercept form, then explain how to graph on a coordinate plane.
Demonstrate technology: calculator
Guided Practice: Students finish Handout: Graphing linear functions from standard form.
Assessment: Exit Ticket
Materials: Handout/ spiral notes
Follow Up/HW: finish handout (graphing lines)
Objective: SWBAT write an equation of a line given a slope and the y-intercept. SWBAT
write an equation of a line given a slope and a point.
Activities: Warm Up: Graph a linear function from standard form.
Notes: Writing equations of lines given a slope and a y-intercept. Have students be able to put
in standard form as well as slope-intercept form. Demonstrate the process of how to write an
equation in slope-intercept form given a point and a slope. Have students be able to put the
equation in standard form also. Show how to check answer using a graph paper. Have
students be able to put the equation in standard form also. Textbook p. 292
Guided Practice: students practice problems. Handout
Assessment: Exit Ticket
Materials: Spiral Notes
Follow Up/HW: Finish practice problems.
Objective: SWBAT write equations of lines given a slope and a point. SWBAT find the slope
of a line.
Activities: Warm Up: Write an equation of a line given a slope and a y-intercept.
Notes: Go over how to write an equation given a point and a slope.
Independent Practice: Students will work on writing equations of lines given a slope and a
point.
Notes: Slope formula and slope from a graph: Show how to get the slope of a line from the
slope formula. Also discuss how to get the slope of a line by using a graph.
Guided Practice: Students will work on finding the slope of a line using the formula and
graph.
Assessment: Exit Ticket
Materials: Spiral notes, graph paper, textbook
Follow Up/HW:
Objective: SWBAT write an equation of a line given two points.
Activities: Warm up: Find the slope of a line.
Notes: Demonstrate how to write an equation of a line given two points that the line passes
through. Show how to do this algebraically. Then show how to check the answer using a
graph paper. Show the connections visually and algebraically.
Guided Practice: Students will practice writing equations of lines that pass through two given
points.
