Introduction

Question: What do we know about slope and y- intercept

KWL discussion Have peer write on board Go over objective Play song

Directions

Individual activityo Find the slope of the given problem

Pair and Shareo Discuss how they arrived at the answer

Group projecto Students lead – assign job from project descriptiono Students take turns completing the task

Data entry-enter assigned coordinates Navigator- thread string from one point to the other Locator- find the y-intercept Scribe-write down the process Reporter- Briefly explain their process

Whole group- listen and participate in discussion or practice of the work Exit ticket: What did you learn today

Student Learning

1. Where can you find slopes?2. Can you always see a slope before you graph it?3. What kind of things can be a slope?4. Describe a situation where it would have been helpful to graph the slope.5. When will you use this information later?

Questions to Summarize Learning Objectives

What does slope mean? How do you find the y-intercept?
