Summative Unit Assessment : Textbook-Derived Assessment
Summative Assessment Objective
Students WillDemonstrate an understanding of slope and its many uses by calculating
slope (constant rate of change) from table and graphs, using slope to
complete tables and graphs, show that an equation with a slope represents a
linear relationship, describe differences between positive and negative slopes
when graphing, use slope to create a linear graph, use graphing linear
equations to solve a system of equations.

Students willFind a pattern in a data table to
describe the constant rate of
change as “change in y over
change in x”
Students willUse a constant rate of change to
continue a data table and to plot
points on a graph.
1,2
2,3
Students willGraph a data table with a constant
rate of change to show linearity,
then verify the CROC as “rise over
run” or slope, by modeling a
staircase on the graph.
3
Students willFind slope of a graphed line by
finding rise over run and write as a
simplified fraction.
Compare/match data tables and
graphs by comparing/matching
their slopes (constant rates of
change)
2,3
Students willRecognize slope-intercept form
and describe the parts of the
equation and what those parts tell
you to do on a graph.
Use slope-intercept form to create
linear graphs (single lines)
1
Color-coding for pattern in x and y values,
Match a table with teacher key,
Use dominoes to find your CROC for a teacher-created
table
Use magnets to plot points and verify with a yard stick
that they form a straight line
Cut strings or strips of paper to represent the constant
rise over run and use to graph the staircase
Matching or concentration game
Find your partner with graphs and tables
Make me the graph to match your table or the table to
match your graph
Box in the slope and circle the intercept
Fly swatter speed drill to find each part
Flashcard drill to identify and name each part
