Function Fun, Unit 1: Patterns, T-tables, and Graphs
OVER 50 PAGES! These are the best strategies for teaching linear functions to all students. Tested in grades 4 through high school, this unit helps students develop competency with both the concepts and computations involved in functions. The multi-representational activities cover slope, y-intercept, t-tables, graphs, formulas, and visual representations of linear functions.This unit is part 1 of a four-part series and includes 17 patterns in both color and black and white versions to provide t
Milk Carton Apartments
An inexpensive and easily implemented hands-on lesson helps students understand functions and function notation. Concepts include slope, y-intercept, t-tables, graphs, direct and indirect variation, and the identity function. Common Core alignment is included along with complete instructions, activity masters, answer keys, and research tips. You'll even get an "udderly' silly trivia quiz about milk to amuse your students.
Function Fun, Part 2: Working with negative and fractional terms
This activity is part 2 in a five-part series on developing an understanding of and proficiency with functions. Part 1 offered an introduction helping students to understand slope and y-intercept when integrated across a multi-representational approach. In part 2, the student will develop even greater proficiency as negative and fractional slopes and y-intercepts are encountered. This unit offers 18 new pattern cards in both color and black and white versions! Comprehensive instructions, classro
Spring Action Lab: A Bouncy and Engaging STEM Lab
Students will enjoy putting their learning to work in this engaging lab. Using springs or rubber bands, students measure and record data as they try to get a bucket to touch the floor by adding weights. Then they use their data and its graph to make predictions and write equations that will help them predict the outcomes. This simple and inexpensive lab will help your students learn graphing, t-tables, measurement, linear functions, and the physics of tension forces. This can be used as a stand-

Losing Your Marbles: Function Connections You Can See
This visual demonstration/lab helps students make complete sense of functions. Topics addressed include slope, y-intercept, rise & run, slope-intercept form, domain & range, independent & dependent variables, and line of best fit. Whole number, fractional, and positive and negative slopes are addressed.
Adaptations make the lesson accessible to both younger and more advanced students.

Zach's Eraser: Linear Functions and Line of Fit
This is an effective and thought-provoking way to helps students apply functions to real situations. The resulting function shows a negative slope. Though it is a simple linear function, the data is not perfect, so a line of fit must be employed. Because it is based on real data, even students who have only a beginning experience with functions can understand the concepts and mathematics. The lesson can incorporate slope-intercept and point-slope forms as well as independent and dependent variab

Sum Thing Interesting: Finding Amazing Patterns in Addition
This simple exploration in addition can lead to very advanced discoveries. Because the entrance point involves basic addition, any student can get on board. Then you can take them as far down the math track as you want as you explore sums of consecutive numbers, exponents, and quadratic patterns.
Liquid Functions: Exploring linear and nonlinear functions
This engaging and kinesthetic activity will help students visualize and understand the principles and concepts involved in functions. You can adapt the lesson to study linear or nonlinear functions or include both. The materials needed are few and inexpensive, and can be adapted to the needs of your students. The activity can be used as an introduction to functions so that students get hands-on experience, or it can be used as an application of skills students have already learned in a unit of s
