Target Audience

8th grade Math

Inclusion class

Connected Math (CMP3)

Goals, Objectives and Outcomes:

• Students would be able to:identify and solve for slope

a. on a graph

b. from a table

c. from an equation

Launch

Do Now:

• What do you know about the table and the graph of a function with the equation y=3x+2?

• What do the numbers 3 and 2 tell you about the table and graph values?

Climbing A Staircase

With a partner investigate the staircase in our school.

What is the height of the step

(in inches)?

What is the depth of each step

(in inches)?

Creating a Table•Record the information you gathered from your investigation of the staircase.

X is the height

Y is the depth

Create a graph with the information from the table . Be sure to have all the parts of the graph labeled and USE A RULER!

Creating a Graph

Creating An Equation

Use the information from the table and graph to create the linear equation:

Evaluations/Assessment Techniques

• Students will create a poster with:– Table– Graph– Equation– Computer generated table and graph– Homework– This poster will serve as the evaluation of the students’

understand and be grade an formal assessment.

DASH
