After using several visual patterns as warm ups building up to writing equations, I created this to push my students to figure out how to determine the slope and y intercept of an equation from a table that skips x values and doesn't include 0.

This worked great with Building Thinking Classroom practices, especially with students who are familiar with writing equations from visual patterns. I've personally used it with advanced 6th graders and 7th graders.

A detailed answer key and questions/hints for pushing students thinking are included.

I've also included links to several Desmos activities that I and others have made that help students develop a deeper understanding of writing equations with meaningful feedback (not just telling them if they are right or wrong but showing why).

My Other Thinking Classroom Tasks

Noncurricular Task: Estimating Rational and Irrational Numbers

Rectangle Area and Perimeter Thinking Problems

This printable resource includes a task with complete key. Students will use their knowledge of the volume of a prism to do an investigation into fair marketing and sales practices. Lots of containers of consumer products have a "false bottom". Do the retailers cheat us with this or do we get the amount we pay for? Other math topics needed to do this resource successfully include area of circles, ratios and percents.

Nothing compares with ice-cream, and that is why your child will remember this activity for a long time! Did they get cheated with the amount of ice-cream? No better Real-Life Math application than this.

This resource works great as ...

• an assessment exercise
• a task
• independent work
• distance learning
• as a problem for a math station
• with math centers
• for homework
• constructive group work centered on problem-solving.
