Description
This linear graphing lesson introduces students to initial values, rates, and slope-intercept form. It is designed to interest students and use knowledge that students already have. Through it, students will explore and discover how stories, graphing, and equations all relate.
In this activity:
First, students are given 3 stories about pop stars to get them engaged and keep the lesson fun. The stories are straightforward. Students create graphs based on the stories.
Next, the stories are changed slightly (to include a new "initial value"). Students draw new graphs to illustrate the new story.
Then, through a series of questions, students compare the graphs. The questions provided are great for class discussions on topics of initial value, rate of change, and slope-intercept form.
Finally, students create their own stories, graphs, and equations.
Great to use as a partner activity!
