The activity closes by asking students to interpret the parameters in context. This activity is designed to serve as a formative assessment on student understanding of slope (graphically, algebraically, and numerically). They begin by identifying which graph is which (private, public, two-year), and continue by making a prediction, building and using a model, and testing their prediction against actual data. (also listed below with grade 8 linear), In this task, students analyze the structure of a visual pattern. (added 9/10/16). V2by Desmos. Activity creators can build a series of screens that walk a student through interactive activities. This activity is appropriate for students who have studied linear functions but may not have an experience with exponential growth. The aim of this activity is to challenge students' understanding about graphing linear functions and hopefully consolidate their learning of graphing slope-intercept form.

This is an exploration activity which utilizes Desmos.com, a free online graphing calculator, to allow students to explore the different transformations of functions. If the list is large-ish, it might be the better option. One is the picker and the other the questioner. After the picker chooses one graph or picture, the questioner asks yes or no questions and uses the answers to narrow down the correct graph or picture. Commuting Times This activity illustrates the relationship between a dataset (which is usually not a function) and a model of the data (whichin algebrais a function). There are multiple ways to solve a system, including: graphing, substitution, and elimination. Proportional / Linear, Students gather and analyze walking data (distance in feet compared to time in seconds), write equations to represent this distance-time relationship, and compare their own walking rates to others through multiple representations (numerical, graphical, and algebraic).
