Graphing linear equations matching activity answer key

Mathematical goals

This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students use algebra to:

• Explore relationships between variables in everyday situations.
• Find unknown values from known values.
• Find relationships between pairs of unknowns and express these as tables and graphs.
• Find general relationships between several variables and express these in different ways by rearranging formulas.

Introduction

This activity links several aspects of algebra.

• Before the lesson, students work individually on the assessment task The Guitar Class. You then review their work and create questions for students to answer, to help them improve their solutions.
• During the lesson, students translate between words, algebraic formulas, tables, and graphs in an interactive whole-class discussion. The intention is that you focus students on making sense of the context using algebra, rather than just the routine use of techniques and skills. Students then work in pairs to graph the relationship between two of the variables. In a final whole-class discussion, students identify general formulas showing the relationships between all the variables.
• In a follow-up lesson, students receive your comments on the assessment task and use these to attempt a similar task, approaching it with insights gained from the lesson.

Materials required

• Each student will need two copies of the assessment task The Guitar Class, either the Making and Selling Candles lesson task sheet, or the Rescue Helicopter lesson task sheet, depending on the outcome of the assessment task, a mini-whiteboard, pen, and eraser.
• Each pair of students will need a sheet of graph paper.
• There is a projector resource to support whole-class discussion.

Time needed

15 minutes before the lesson, a one-hour lesson, and 10 minutes in a follow-up lesson. All timings are approximate. Exact timings will depend on the needs of the class.

Match linear equations with its corresponding graph. This is a great activity to help with slope and y-intercept recognition in linear equations and graphs. With this purchase, you receive 2 versions to allow for differentiation. Version 1 contains 12 graphs and 12 answers to allow process of elimination. Version 2 contains 12 graphs and 18 linear equations so students will have to use a deeper level of thinking to match them.

Description

Graphing with Linear Equations:

Looking for an easy ways for students to be graphing with linear equations? Miss Kuiper’s Classroom has you covered with this differentiable activity where students match linear equations with its corresponding graph. This is a great activity to help with slope and y-intercept recognition in equations and graphs.

You will receive:

• Common Core Standards
• Directions for Teacher and Student
• 2 Digital Versions to allow for differentiation
• Answer Key

Version 1 contains 12 graphs and 12 answers to allow process of elimination.

Version 2 contains 12 graphs and 18 equations so students will have to use a deeper level of thinking to match them.

When my students are learning about linear equations and how to determine it from a graph, this activity is always a hit! My students get to match a linear equation to it’s corresponding graph. And some of my students have gotten really good at it! So I upped the game. I created a second version with more equations than graphs. Now they have to dig deeper to decide the pairing.

Now whether students need that extra support where there are the same number of graphs and equations or they can dive deeper, I’ve got them covered.
