9th Grade Graphing Lesson (by date, oldest first)

This lesson has everything you need to teach a "Thin Slicing" lesson on writing linear functions from a graph for 8th grade math. These progressively challenging task cards start students with simple proportional graphs and progress up to writing a linear function from line graphs where the y-intercept is not visible . This lesson with printable task cards uses Building Thinking Classrooms strategies for teaching math created by Peter Liljedahl. If you have been looking to implement the Building Thinking Classrooms model of instruction, but don't know where to start, this is a great resource for you.

This lesson includes the following materials:

• Complete instructions on how I run a "Thin Slicing" lesson using Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces (VNPS) in my own classroom.
• 13 Full-Size Task Cards on writing linear functions from a graph.
• Answers for all Task Cards.
• "Notes To My Future Forgetful Self" Student Notes Template.
• Student Notes answer key.
• "Check Your Understanding" student Exit Ticket.
• Exit Ticket answer key.

Once the thin slicing lesson is complete, students can use the provided notes template to record their thinking, as well as complete a "Check Your Understanding" exit ticket to give you and your students formative assessment feedback on how they are understanding the topic.

This lesson bundle includes all three of my 8th grade thin slicing lessons on writing linear functions. Each lesson contains task cards that are "thin sliced" using the Building Thinking Classrooms teaching strategies to help guide students to think through and learn the concepts in their random groups at vertical non-permanent surfaces. Using all three lessons will cover the Common Core standards of writing and using linear functions in slope-intercept form 8.F.A.3 and 8.F.B.4.

This Thin Slicing Lesson Bundle includes 3 complete lessons covering 270 total minutes of instructional time. Each lesson includes:

· Full size printable Task Cards

· Task Card solutions

· Student Note-Making Template

· Check Your Understanding Exit Ticket

Included in this lesson bundle are:

1. Writing Linear Functions From Patterns Thin Slicing Lesson - Grade 8 ($10.00 Value)

2. Writing Linear Functions From Tables Thin Slicing Lesson - Grade 8 ($10.00 Value)

3. Writing Linear Functions From Graphs Thin Slicing Lesson - Grade 8 ($10.00 Value)

As an added bonus, you will receive my Level Ups: Writing Linear Functions Review Activity Grade 8 for FREE ($4.00 value) to help you with formative assessment after you have used all three lessons.

Finding intercepts no prep lesson for linear equations. Students will ultimately be graphing linear equations by finding the intercepts.

A PowerPoint gives examples of finding intercepts from the graph, from its equation then using the intercepts to graph the equation.

The accompanying worksheet has questions for each of these skills. There are axes for each question that requires drawing should you prefer to save time for your students.

Worked solutions are included.
