This lesson has everything you need to teach a "Thin Slicing" lesson on writing linear functions from a table of values for 8th grade math. These progressively challenging task cards start students with simple proportional relationships and progress up to writing a linear function from only two ordered pairs. 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.
• 12 Full-Size Task Cards on writing linear functions from a table of values.
• Answers for all Task Cards.
• "Notes To My Future Forgetful Self" Student Notes Template.

This is a fill in the blank function vocabulary notes/reference sheet. This can be used as a differentiation page or just to save time since students do not have to copy the whole definition. Words included are relation, function, parent function, representations, domain, range, increasing and decreasing function, independent and dependent variables, continuous, and discrete.

What others are saying:

Extremely satisfied

Great resource to supplement the curriculum and fill learning gaps.

Dear Educators,

   Every year my students struggle with division. The fear of  finding the right number to start the quotient paralyzes them. Over the years I’ve found a couple tricks to get my students started thinking of compatible numbers they could try as the quotient and then work backwards or forwards depending on the answer. Giving them a starting point takes away the fear. I hope this anchor chart/ student notebook printable helps give your students the confidence to find possible quotients it has given my students.

No Prep Needed! These guided notes with a Draw It section makes this lesson simple for students to understand! It walks them step by step through each part including definitions, how to interpret the diagrams and analyze for errors! The powerpoint is included for your to teach your lesson!

Lesson - Volume of Rectangular & Triangular Pyramids

This product includes notes which can help to introduce or review calculating the volume of Rectangular & Triangular Pyramids.

Intentions
My goal for my products are for students to have solid, skill based resources that they can go back and reference at anytime. The notes section of my products include a detailed step by step explanation of each problem with all work shown. By including the steps for each skill this will help to comply with various accommodations we must provide our students. The practice section will include skill based practice problems similar to the example and at least one version of the various ways questions are asked. The quick check section will include at least one problem of each type of question that was seen in the practice section. A suggested use of these notes would be:

1. Initial Teach: Review any vocabulary and notes with the students to introduce the topic.

2. Guided Practice: Complete the practice section with students, either as a guided, with a partner, or independently. Review answers immediately.

3. Independent Practice: This will need to be supplemented, I personally prefer having students work on an online program which will provide instant feedback and a variety of questions. I prefer to have students utilize websites that will provide real time support and results to students. Another possibility would be to pair with one of my color by number assignments. This is good option because students have to find their answer on the coloring sheet, if their answer is not there they immediately know that a mistake was made and can has for assistance. Look for corresponding activities in the bundles listed here.

4. Assessment: The quick is a great informal assessment tool, this can be used as either an exit ticket or you may choose to take this as a grade depending on what works for you and your students.

As technology is progressing, there are many fantastic software programs that schools are acquiring, I believe as students learn they must be receiving instant feedback on their work so they can grow and improve in real time. As a result, my products are focused solely on the skill itself. I am only including a small variety of questions for each topic, my intention is for students to use these notes as a guide as they practice and utilize whichever software/online program/additional practice you are providing.

This slideshow and corresponding notes & practice packet focus on division with unit fractions including 1/a divided by b and a divided by 1/b. There are some bonus/challenge problems included for students needing more of a challenge that have mixed numbers and non-unit fractions.

This uses visuals and connects to students prior knowledge about division as dividing into equal groups or dividing into groups of a certain size. It does not use Keep Change Flip or any tricks.

These guided notes are a great way to instruct and/or review your ratios unit! Topics include introduction to ratios, equivalent ratios, modeling equivalent ratios (ratio table, double number line, tape diagram), rates and unit rates, graphing ratios, ratios as percent, and converting between fractions, decimals and percents. Each topic includes key vocabulary, step by step instructions, and practice problems. My students use their notebook as a key resource throughout the entire year. Even past students come back to me to tell me that they still use their 6th grade notebooks. **These notes are only for the Ratios Unit. For a set of notes for the entire year, check out my 6th Grade Guided Math Notes here! The full year notes include the ratios unit, number systems, expressions and equations, geometry, and statistics and probability. PLUS, they include a few pages of additional resources and are a LOWER PRICE than buying each unit separately.

This lesson has everything you need to teach a "Thin Slicing" lesson on determining if a linear equation has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions (8.EE.7a) for 8th grade using the 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:

• Description of how I run a "Thin Slicing" lesson using Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces in my own classroom.
• 11 Full-Size Task Cards on finding the number of solutions in a linear equation.
• 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.

This lesson will help your students learn how to determine if a linear equation has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solution. This lesson starts with a very low floor to encourage access for all students, and builds up the rigor in "thin slices" until it reaches a high ceiling with challenging extension questions. Once complete, students can use the provided notes template to record their thinking, as well as a "Check Your Understanding" exit ticket to give you and your students formative assessment feedback on how they are understanding the topic.

This lesson is the 3rd in a series for 8th grade equation solving. The two previous lessons are:

1. Solving Equations "Thin Slicing" Lesson: Grade 8

2. Equations With Variables On Both Sides "Thin Slicing" Lesson: Grade 8

Please consider using the previous two lessons before trying this one.

If you enjoy this product, please leave a review and check out my other products. I will be adding more Thin Slicing lessons in the future based on this model.

If you would like to know more about how I use Building Thinking Classrooms in my own class, check out my blog. I am also creating and refining more thin slicing lessons, so follow my store or check back regularly to see what's new.
